FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF                                             (JANUS LOGO)
JANUS ADVISER HIGH-YIELD FUND

                                                             [___________], 2009

Dear Shareholder:

     The Board of Trustees for Janus Adviser High-Yield Fund ("JAD High-Yield
Fund"), a series of Janus Adviser Series ("JAD Trust"), recently authorized
Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital") to reorganize JAD High Yield Fund
with and into Janus High-Yield Fund ("JIF High-Yield Fund," and together with
JAD High-Yield Fund, the "Funds"), a series of Janus Investment Fund (the "JIF
Trust") (the "Reorganization"). It is expected that the Reorganization will be
completed on or about July 6, 2009 (the "Closing Date") at which time you will
receive shares of JIF High-Yield Fund equivalent in dollar value to your shares
in JAD High-Yield Fund as of the Closing Date.

     You are not being asked to vote on, or take any other action in connection
with the Reorganization. As of the Closing Date, your assets will automatically
be invested in JIF High-Yield Fund, which has the same investment objective,
strategies, policies and risks as JAD High-Yield Fund, and both Funds are
managed by the same portfolio manager.

     As explained in greater detail below and in the attached materials, the
Reorganization is part of a larger effort by Janus Capital to reorganize and
simplify its mutual fund platform. Janus Capital believes that these efforts
will provide both meaningful short- and long-term benefits to Janus fund
shareholders, and will enable Janus Capital to manage and operate its mutual
fund platform more effectively and more efficiently. The following provides a
summary of the broad effort Janus Capital is undertaking, and the actions Janus
Capital will be executing in the months ahead.

     Janus Capital has historically organized its retail mutual funds into two
separate and distinct corporate structures, called "trusts." The original mutual
fund trust, the JIF Trust, was designed to offer shares using only one no-load
pricing model to primarily meet the needs of the self-directed investor. In
2000, your trust, the JAD Trust, was introduced to offer multi-class pricing to
facilitate the sale of shares of Janus mutual funds through Janus Capital's
network of third-party intermediaries. The two trusts have very similar product
offerings that are managed by the same portfolio managers or investment teams
and backed by the same research teams. In response to changing market conditions
and investor movement towards advice-driven channels, Janus Capital believes
that it is in the best interests of all fund shareholders to reorganize your
trust and create one consolidated mutual fund platform with multi-share class
pricing that is designed to meet the needs of various types of investors. To
that end, Janus Capital has proposed, and the Board of Trustees of the Janus
Funds has approved, merging each fund of the JAD trust into the similarly
managed fund in the JIF trust, including the merger of JAD High-Yield Fund into
JIF High-Yield Fund.

     The impact of the Reorganization on you and your Fund is discussed in
detail in the attached materials. As a general matter, Janus Capital's efforts
to reorganize and simplify its mutual fund platform are expected to benefit
Janus fund shareholders in the following ways:

     -    The mergers provide Janus fund shareholders with the opportunity to
          continue to invest in a Janus mutual fund offering the same or
          substantially similar investment objective, strategies, policies and
          risks, and with the same portfolio management, as their current fund,
          but as part of an enhanced fund platform;

     -    Janus Capital will have the opportunity to operate its platform more
          efficiently, providing the potential to reduce fund expenses by
          reducing possible inefficiencies arising from having similarly managed
          mutual funds in the same fund complex;

     -    As a result of the mergers, certain Janus funds will have larger asset
          bases, which may result in the elimination of duplicative expenses and
          lead to lower expense ratios in the future; and

     -    Janus Capital's evolving distribution model will permit different
          types of shareholders to invest in the same Janus fund providing
          shareholders more investment options, and Janus Capital a more stable
          asset base.


                                       i



     In addition, each merger, including the Reorganization, is designed to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization, so fund shareholders should not realize a
tax gain or loss as a direct result of the merger, nor will any fund shareholder
pay any costs related to the merger.

     Additional details about the Reorganization are described in the enclosed
Q&A and Prospectus/Information Statement. For information about other available
options, please contact your broker-dealer, plan sponsor, or financial
intermediary or call a Janus representative at 1-800-525-0020.

     We value the trust and confidence you have placed with us and look forward
to continuing our relationship with you.

                                        Sincerely,


                                        ----------------------------------------

                                  INTRODUCTION

     This Prospectus/Information Statement is being furnished to shareholders of
Janus Adviser High-Yield Fund ("JAD High-Yield Fund"), a series of Janus Adviser
Series (the "JAD Trust"), in connection with an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, shareholders of JAD High-Yield Fund
will receive shares of Janus High-Yield Fund ("JIF High-Yield Fund," and
together with JAD High-Yield Fund, the "Funds"), a corresponding series of Janus
Investment Fund (the "JIF Trust") (the "Reorganization"). It is expected that
the Reorganization will be completed on or about July 6, 2009 (the "Closing
Date"). As described more fully in this Prospectus/Information Statement, the
Reorganization is one of several reorganizations that will take place among
various Janus funds.

     Pursuant to the Plan, all or substantially all of the assets of JAD
High-Yield Fund will be transferred to JIF High-Yield Fund, a Fund also managed
by Janus Capital Management LLC ("Janus Capital"), in exchange for shares of
beneficial interest of JIF High-Yield Fund and the assumption by JIF High-Yield
Fund of all of the liabilities of JAD High-Yield Fund, as described more fully
below. As a result of the Reorganization, each shareholder of JAD High-Yield
Fund will receive a number of full and fractional shares of JIF High-Yield Fund
equal in value to their holdings in JAD High-Yield Fund as of the closing date
of the Reorganization. After the Reorganization is completed, JAD High-Yield
Fund will be liquidated.

     JIF High-Yield Fund is a series of the JIF Trust, an open-end, registered
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. JAD
High-Yield Fund is a series of the JAD Trust, an open-end, registered management
investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust. JAD High-Yield Fund
and JIF High-Yield Fund are each a diversified series within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The investment
objective of both JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF High-Yield Fund is to seek to
obtain high current income. For both the JAD High-Yield Fund and the JIF
High-Yield Fund, capital appreciation is a secondary investment objective when
consistent with its primary investment objective.

     Janus Capital will remain the investment adviser of JIF High-Yield
Fund after the Reorganization. Janus Capital is responsible for the day-to-day
management of JAD High-Yield Fund's and JIF High-Yield Fund's investment
portfolios and furnishes continuous advice and recommendations concerning each
Fund's investments. Janus Capital, which as of [___________], [2009], sponsored
[______] mutual funds with approximately $[_________] billion in mutual fund
assets under management, is one of the larger mutual fund sponsors in the United
States. The Reorganization will offer shareholders continuity in portfolio
management while giving them continued access to Janus Capital's experience and
resources in managing mutual funds.

     This Prospectus/Information Statement, which you should read carefully and
retain for future reference, sets forth concisely the information that you
should know about JIF High-Yield Fund, JAD High-Yield Fund and the
Reorganization. This Prospectus/Information Statement is being mailed on or

                                    SYNOPSIS

     This Prospectus/Information Statement provides a brief overview of the key
features and other matters typically of concern to shareholders affected by a
reorganization between mutual funds. These responses are qualified in their
entirety by the remainder of this Prospectus/Information Statement, which you
should read carefully because it contains additional information and further
details regarding the Reorganization. The description of the Reorganization is
qualified by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached as
Appendix A.

Q.   WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE REORGANIZATION?

A.   At a meeting held on [_________, 2008], the Board of Trustees of the JAD
     Trust approved the Plan which authorizes the reorganization of JAD
     High-Yield Fund with and into JIF High-Yield Fund, with JIF High-Yield Fund
     being the surviving entity. JAD High-Yield Fund is a series of the JAD
     Trust and JIF High-Yield Fund is a series of the JIF Trust. Each Fund is
     managed by Janus Capital. You are receiving this Prospectus/Information
     Statement because you are a shareholder of JAD High-Yield Fund and will be
     impacted by the Reorganization.

     Upon the Closing, JAD High-Yield Fund investors will receive shares of JIF
     High-Yield Fund equivalent in dollar value to their shares in JAD
     High-Yield Fund at the time of the Reorganization. Specifically, all or
     substantially all of the assets of JAD High-Yield Fund will be transferred
     to JIF High-Yield Fund solely in exchange for shares of JIF High-Yield Fund
     with a value equal to the value of JAD High-Yield Fund's assets net of
     liabilities, and the assumption by JIF High-Yield Fund of all liabilities
     of JAD High-Yield Fund. Immediately following the transfer, the shares of
     JIF High-Yield Fund received by JAD High-Yield Fund will be distributed pro
     rata to the JAD High-Yield Fund shareholders of record as of the Closing
     Date (on or about July 6, 2009). After the Reorganization is completed, JAD
     High-Yield Fund will be liquidated. The Reorganization is conditioned upon
     receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Reorganization qualifies as a
     tax-free reorganization, and other conditions as outlined in the Plan.

Q.   WHY IS THE REORGANIZATION IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF JAD HIGH-YIELD FUND
     SHAREHOLDERS?

A.   The Board of Trustees of the JAD Trust concluded that the Reorganization is
     in the best interests of JAD High-Yield Fund's shareholders after
     consideration of the following factors, among others:

     -    The Reorganization is part of a larger strategic repositioning of
          Janus Capital's distribution model for Janus mutual funds that is
          designed to offer certain potential benefits to Fund shareholders that
          are not currently available, including a more diverse Fund shareholder
          base, the potential for a more stable level of Fund assets, and access
          to a wider-range of Janus funds with differing investment strategies.

     -    The current conditions and trends in the securities markets and
          related trends in the investment management business, and their
          current and potential impact on Janus Capital, the JAD Trust and Fund
          shareholders.

     -    JAD High-Yield Fund has the same investment objective, strategies,
          policies and risks as JIF High-Yield Fund, and the two Funds are
          managed by the same co-portfolio managers.

     -    The two Funds have similar historical performance.

     -    Shareholders of each Fund will have the opportunity to invest in a
          significantly larger Fund and potentially benefit from long-term
          economies of scale that may result from the Reorganization.

     -    Fund expenses are not expected to increase materially as a result of
          the Reorganization, and Janus Capital anticipates that in the future,
          the elimination of some duplicative expenses and the opportunity for
          economies of scale may result in lower future fund expenses (other
          than management fees).

     -    Both Funds have the same fee structure in accordance with which the
          advisory fee paid by each Fund to Janus Capital is 0.65% per annum of
          each Fund's average net assets for the first $300 million, and 0.55%
          per annum of each Fund's average net assets over $300 million.

     -    The expense limitation agreements applicable to each Fund which, after
          giving effect to fee waivers after the Reorganization, may result in
          current JAD High-Yield Fund shareholders paying the same or lower fees
          in the short-term, and provides greater longer term certainty with
          respect to total expense ratios.


                                       4



     -    The benefits of the Reorganization to Janus Capital and its
          affiliates, including, among other things, that Janus Capital should
          derive greater efficiency, in terms of portfolio management and
          operations, by managing a single fund rather than two separate funds
          with substantially the same investment objective, strategies, policies
          and risks.

     -    The Reorganization would not dilute the interests of either Fund's
          current shareholders.

     -    The impact of the Reorganization on the ability of JIF High-Yield Fund
          to benefit from using a portion of the realized capital losses
          generated by JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF High-Yield Fund, as
          applicable, to offset or defer future gains on the sales of securities
          in certain circumstances.

     -    The Reorganization, for each Fund and its shareholders, is expected to
          be tax-free in nature.

     -    JAD High-Yield Fund's shareholders will not pay any of the costs of
          the Reorganization, and immediately after the Reorganization, the
          value of their shares in JIF High-Yield Fund will be the same as the
          value of their JAD High-Yield Fund holdings immediately prior to the
          Reorganization.

Q.   WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE FUNDS?

A.   Both Funds have the same investment objective of seeking to obtain high
     current income. For both the JAD High-Yield Fund and the JIF High-Yield
     Fund, capital appreciation is a secondary investment objective when
     consistent with the primary investment objective. Each Fund has the same
     investment strategies and risks. Each Fund pursues its investment objective
     by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in
     high-yield/high-risk securities rated below investment grade. Securities
     rated below investment grade may include their unrated equivalents or other
     high yielding securities the portfolio managers believe offer attractive
     risk/return characteristics. Each Fund may at times invest all of its
     assets in such securities.

     Further information comparing the investment objectives, strategies and
     restrictions is included below under "Investment Objectives, Strategies,
     Restrictions and Risks."

Q.   HOW DO THE FUNDS COMPARE IN SIZE?

A.   As of October 31, 2008, JIF High-Yield Fund's net assets were approximately
     $381.3 million and JAD High-Yield Fund's net assets were approximately $4.0
     million. The asset size of each Fund fluctuates on a daily basis and the
     asset size of JIF High-Yield Fund after the Reorganization may be larger or
     smaller than the combined assets of the Funds as of October 31, 2008.

Q.   WILL THE REORGANIZATION RESULT IN A HIGHER INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE RATE?

A.   No. The contractual investment advisory fee rate for JAD High-Yield Fund
     and JIF High-Yield Fund is currently the same, 0.65% per annum of each
     Fund's average net assets for the first $300 million, and 0.55% per annum
     of each Fund's average net assets over $300 million.

     Pro forma fee, expense, and financial information is included in this
     Prospectus/Information Statement.

Q.   WILL THE REORGANIZATION RESULT IN HIGHER FUND EXPENSES?

A.   [Based on October 31, 2008 assets, the projected total expense ratio of JIF
     High-Yield Fund (following completion of the Reorganization) will be
     significantly lower than the current expense ratio for JAD High-Yield Fund.
     Janus Capital anticipates that over time the Fund's expense ratio will be
     equal to or lower than the current expense ratio of JAD High-Yield Fund.]

     Pro forma fee, expense, and financial information is included in this
     Prospectus/Information Statement.

Q.   WHAT ARE THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REORGANIZATION?

A.   The Reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction for
     federal income tax purposes and will not take place unless counsel provides
     an opinion to that effect. Shareholders should not recognize any capital
     gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization. As a result of the
     Reorganization, however, JAD High-Yield Fund and/or JIF High-Yield Fund may
     lose the ability to utilize a portion of realized capital losses that


                                       5



     might have been used to offset or defer gains on sales of portfolio
     securities under some circumstances. If you choose to redeem or exchange
     your shares before or after the Reorganization, you may realize a taxable
     gain or loss; therefore, consider consulting a tax adviser before doing so.
     In addition, immediately prior to the date of the Reorganization you may
     receive a distribution of ordinary income or capital gains as a result of
     the normal operations of JAD High-Yield Fund.

Q.   WILL THE SHAREHOLDER SERVICES PROVIDED BY JANUS CAPITAL CHANGE?

A.   No. Janus Capital manages both JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF High-Yield Fund.
     The custodian, transfer agent, and distributor are the same for the Funds
     and will not change as a result of the Reorganization. Following the
     Reorganization, shareholders of JAD High-Yield Fund will have the same
     purchase and redemption privileges and expanded exchange privileges given
     the additional available fund offerings in the JIF Trust. Please consult
     your financial intermediary for information on any services provided by
     them to the Funds.

Q.   ARE THERE ANY DIFFERENCES IN SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES OF A FUND
     UNDER THE JAD TRUST VERSUS THE JIF TRUST?

A.   Shareholders of the JAD Trust (your current trust) and shareholders of the
     JIF Trust (the trust into which JAD High-Yield Fund is reorganizing) have
     similar rights and privileges under their respective trust documents and
     state laws. As a result, the Reorganization is not expected to have any
     substantial effect on the rights of shareholders. Several differences in
     the trusts are worth noting however. Under the JAD Trust, subject to making
     certain determinations, the Board of Trustees may terminate the JAD Trust
     or any fund of the JAD Trust without seeking shareholder approval. Under
     the JIF Trust, shareholder approval is required to terminate the JIF Trust,
     but the Board of Trustees may merge, liquidate or reorganize a fund of the
     JIF Trust without seeking shareholder approval, if it is in accordance with
     legal requirements such as the 1940 Act requirements. The JAD Trust,
     however, is subject to more restrictive requirements with respect to
     mergers, liquidations and reorganizations than it is permitted under the
     1940 Act. In addition, under the JAD Trust, shareholders of each Fund are
     entitled to one vote for each full share held and fractional votes for
     fractional shares held. Under the JIF Trust, each holder of a whole or
     fractional share held in a Fund is entitled to one vote for each whole
     dollar and a proportionate fractional vote for each fractional dollar of
     net asset value standing in the shareholders' name.

Q.   WILL THERE BE ANY SALES LOAD, COMMISSION OR OTHER TRANSACTIONAL FEE IN
     CONNECTION WITH THE REORGANIZATION?

A.   No. There will be no sales load, commission or other transactional fee in
     connection with the Reorganization. The full value of shares of JAD
     High-Yield Fund will be exchanged for shares of JIF High-Yield Fund having
     equal value, without any sales load, commission or other transactional fee
     being imposed.

Q.   CAN I STILL ADD TO MY EXISTING JAD HIGH-YIELD FUND ACCOUNT UNTIL THE
     REORGANIZATION?

A.   Yes. JAD High-Yield Fund shareholders may continue to make additional
     investments until the date of the Reorganization (anticipated to be on or
     about July 6, 2009). However, the Board of Trustees of the JAD Trust may
     determine to temporarily limit future investments in JAD High-Yield Fund
     prior to the date of the Reorganization to ensure a smooth transition of
     shareholder accounts into JIF High-Yield Fund.

Q.   WILL EITHER FUND PAY FOR THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REORGANIZATION?

A.   No. Janus Capital will bear those costs.

Q.   WHEN WILL THE REORGANIZATION TAKE PLACE?

A.   The Reorganization will occur on or about July 6, 2009. Shortly after
     completion of the Reorganization, affected shareholders will receive a
     confirmation statement reflecting their new Fund account number and number
     of shares owned.


                                       6



Q.   WHAT IF I WANT TO EXCHANGE MY SHARES INTO ANOTHER JANUS FUND PRIOR TO THE
     REORGANIZATION?

A.   You may exchange your shares into another Janus fund before the Closing
     Date (on or about July 6, 2009) in accordance with your pre-existing
     exchange privileges by contacting your broker-dealer, plan sponsor, or
     financial intermediary or by calling a Janus representative at
     [1-800-525-0020]. If you choose to exchange your shares of JAD High-Yield
     Fund for another Janus fund, your request will be treated as a normal
     exchange of shares and will be a taxable transaction unless your shares are
     held in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account
     ("IRA"). Exchanges may be subject to minimum investment requirements and
     redemption fees.

     Please note that other Janus funds in the JAD Trust are also subject to
     reorganization with and into the JIF Trust. So, if you exchange your shares
     with and into another Janus fund in the JAD Trust, shareholders of that
     fund may also be participating in a reorganization of that fund with and
     into a similarly-managed fund in the JIF Trust.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, RESTRICTIONS AND RISKS

     Both Funds are designed for long-term investors who primarily seek current
income. The Funds have the same investment objective, principal investment
strategies and risks, which are discussed in detail below. The Funds also have
the same fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, a
description of each of these investment policies and restrictions is included in
each Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

     Each Fund's investment objective is to seek to obtain high current income.
Capital appreciation is a secondary investment objective when consistent with
its primary investment objective. Each Fund's Board of Trustees may change these
objectives or a Fund's principal investment strategies without a shareholder
vote. Each Fund has a policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets,
measured at the time of purchase, in the type of securities suggested by its
name, as described below. Each Fund will notify its shareholders in writing at
least 60 days before making any changes to this policy. If there is a material
change to your Fund's objectives or principal investment strategies, you should
consider whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment for you. There is no
guarantee that a Fund will achieve its investment objectives.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

     Each Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing, under normal
circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in high-yield/high-risk securities
rated below investment grade. Securities rated below investment grade may
include their unrated equivalents or other high-yielding securities the
portfolio managers believe offer attractive risk/return characteristics. Each
Fund may at times invest all of its assets in such securities. Due to the nature
of securities in which the Fund invests, it may have relatively high portfolio
turnover compared to other funds.

     In addition to considering economic factors such as the effect of interest
rates on each Fund's investments, the portfolio managers apply a "bottom up"
approach in choosing investments. This means that the portfolio managers look at
income-producing securities one at a time to determine if a security is an
attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with a Fund's
investment policies. If the portfolio managers are unable to find such
investments, a Fund's uninvested assets may be held in cash or similar
investments, subject to the Fund's specific investment policies.

     Within the parameters of its specific investment policies, each Fund may
invest in foreign debt and equity securities, which may include investments in
emerging markets.

     Each Fund may invest no more than 20% of its total assets in bank loans.

     Within the parameters of its specific investment policies, a Fund may
invest its assets in derivatives. Each Fund may use derivatives for different
purposes, including hedging (to offset risks associated with an investment,
currency exposure, or market conditions) and to earn income and enhance returns.

     For more information on the Funds' investment techniques and related risks,
please see Appendix B.


                                       7



PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS

     Each Fund may invest in various types of securities or use certain
investment techniques to achieve its investment objective of seeking to obtain
high current income. The following is a summary of the principal risks
associated with such securities and investment techniques. Each Fund has the
same investment objective, policies and strategies, so the principal risks are
the same for each Fund. Additional information about these risks is included in
each Fund's Prospectus. As with any security, an investment in either Fund
involves certain risks, including loss of principal. The fact that a particular
risk is not identified does not indicate that a Fund does not invest its assets
in, or is precluded from investing its assets in, securities that give rise to
that risk. Information about additional investment techniques that the Funds may
utilize and related risks is included in Appendix B.

RISK FACTORS OF THE FUNDS

     Although each Fund may be less volatile than funds that invest most of
their assets in common stocks, the Fund's returns and yields will vary, and you
could lose money.

     Fixed-Income Securities Risk. Each Fund invests in a variety of
fixed-income securities. Typically, the values of fixed-income securities change
inversely with interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of these securities
is that their value will generally decline as interest rates rise which may
cause a Fund's net asset value ("NAV") to likewise decrease, and vice versa. How
specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates will
depend on the specific characteristics of each security. For example, while
securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields, they also tend
to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates and are therefore more
volatile than shorter-term securities and are subject to greater market
fluctuations as a result of changes in interest rates. Fixed-income securities
are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that the credit strength of
an issuer of a fixed-income security will weaken and/or the issuer will be
unable to make timely principal and interest payments and that the security may
go into default. In addition, there is the risk that during periods of falling
interest rates, certain fixed-income securities with higher interest rates, such
as mortgage- and asset-backed securities, may be prepaid by the issuer thereby
reducing the amount of interest payments and may result in a Fund having to
reinvest its proceeds in lower yielding securities. Collateral related to such
investments also may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation
risk, and liquidity risk.

     High-Yield/High-Risk Bond Risk. Each Fund may invest without limit in
higher-yielding/higher-risk bonds, also known as "junk" bonds.
High-yield/high-risk bonds may be sensitive to economic changes, political
changes, or adverse developments specific to the company that issued the bond.
These bonds generally have a greater credit risk than other types of
fixed-income securities. The issuers are typically in poor financial health.
Because of these factors, the performance and NAV of a Fund may vary
significantly, depending upon its holdings of high-yield/high-risk bonds.

     Portfolio Turnover Risk. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher
costs for brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups, and other transaction costs.
Higher costs associated with increased portfolio turnover may offset gains in
each Fund's performance.

     Foreign Exposure Risk. Each Fund may have significant exposure to foreign
markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S.
markets. As a result, a Fund's returns and NAV may be affected to a large degree
by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions
in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions
where a Fund has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater
effect on the Fund's performance than it would in a more geographically
diversified portfolio. Each Fund's investments in emerging market countries may
involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more
developed countries.

     Bank Loan Risk. Each Fund may invest in bank loans, which include floating
rate securities. There are a number of risks associated with an investment in
bank loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and
prepayment risk. There is also the possibility that the collateral securing a
loan, if any, may be difficult to liquidate or be insufficient to cover the
amount owed under the loan. These risks could cause each Fund to lose income or
principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect each Fund's
returns and you could lose money.

     Derivatives Risk. Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in
addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses
from derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives' original
cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be complex instruments
and may involve analysis that differs from


                                       8



that required for other investment types used by a Fund. If the value of a
derivative does not correlate well with the particular market or other asset
class to which the derivative is intended to provide exposure, the derivative
may not have the anticipated effect. Derivatives can also reduce the opportunity
for gain or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other
investments. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments.
Derivatives entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment
obligations to a Fund. If the counterparty to a derivative transaction defaults,
a Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it
contractually is entitled to receive.

     An investment in each Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

     The following questions and answers are designed to help you better
understand each Fund's principal investment strategies.

1. WHAT IS A HIGH-YIELD/HIGH-RISK BOND?

     A high-yield/high-risk bond (also called a "junk" bond) is a bond rated
below investment grade by major rating agencies (i.e., BB+ or lower by Standard
& Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard & Poor's") and Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch"), or Ba
or lower by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")) or is an unrated bond
of similar quality. It presents greater risk of default (the failure to make
timely interest and principal payments) than higher quality bonds.

2. WHAT ARE U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES?

     Each Fund may invest in U.S. Government securities. U.S. Government
securities include those issued directly by the U.S. Treasury and those issued
or guaranteed by various U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities. Some
government securities are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the United
States. Other government securities are backed only by the rights of the issuer
to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. Others are supported by the discretionary
authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the obligations. Certain other
government securities are supported only by the credit of the issuer. For
securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, each
Fund must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or
guaranteeing the securities for repayment and may not be able to assert a claim
against the United States if the agency or instrumentality does not meet its
commitment. Although they are high-quality, such securities may involve
increased risk of loss of principal and interest compared to government debt
securities that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

3. WHAT ARE BANK LOANS?

     Bank loans, which include institutionally-traded floating rate securities,
are generally acquired as an assignment from another holder of, or participation
interest in, loans originated by a lender or financial institution. Bank loans,
which include floating rate loans, often involve borrowers whose financial
conditions are troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged.

     Assignments and participations involve various risks including credit,
interest rate, and liquidity risk. Interest rates on floating rate loans adjust
periodically and are tied to a benchmark lending rate such as the London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), which is a short-term interest rate that banks
charge one another and that is generally representative of the most competitive
and current cash rates. In other cases, the lending rate could be tied to the
prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks or the rate paid on large
certificates of deposit traded in the secondary markets. Investing in floating
rate loans with longer interest rate reset periods may increase fluctuations in
a Fund's net asset value as a result of changes in interest rates.

     When a Fund purchases an assignment, the Fund generally assumes all the
rights and obligations under the loan agreement and will generally become a
"lender" for purposes of the particular loan agreement. The rights and
obligations acquired by a Fund under an assignment may be different, and be more
limited, than those held by an assigning lender. If a loan is foreclosed, a Fund
may become part owner of any collateral securing the loan, and may bear the
costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of any collateral. A
Fund could be held liable as a co-lender. There is no assurance that the
liquidation of any collateral from a secured loan would satisfy a borrower's
obligations or that any collateral could be liquidated. There is also the
possibility that the collateral may be over committed and may be subject to many
claims by other lenders against the same collateral.


                                       9



     If a Fund purchases a participation interest, it typically will have a
contractual relationship with the lender and not with the borrower. A Fund may
only be able to enforce its rights through the lender and may assume the credit
risk of both the borrower and the lender, or any other intermediate participant.

     Bank loans are also subject to prepayment risk, which may occur if the
underlying borrower on the loan is permitted to repay the loan principal,
whether in whole or in part, prior to the scheduled maturity date. This may
result in a Fund realizing less income on a particular investment and replacing
the loan with a less attractive security, which may provide less return to the
Fund.

     Because floating rate loan investments are generally below investment
grade, a Fund may have difficulty trading these investments to third parties. In
addition, the secondary market on which floating rate loans are traded may be
less liquid than the market for investment grade securities or other types of
income-producing securities. This may make it difficult for a Fund to sell such
securities in such secondary markets, which in turn may affect the Fund's NAV.

4. HOW COULD INTEREST RATES AFFECT THE VALUE OF MY INVESTMENT?

     Generally, a fixed-income security will increase in value when interest
rates fall and decrease in value when interest rates rise. Longer-term
securities are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than
shorter-term securities, but they generally offer higher yields to compensate
investors for the associated risks. High-yield bond prices and floating rate
debt security prices are generally less directly responsive to interest rate
changes than investment grade issues or comparable fixed rate securities, and
may not always follow this pattern.

5. HOW DOES A FUND MANAGE INTEREST RATE RISK?

     The portfolio managers may vary the average-weighted effective maturity of
a portfolio to reflect their analysis of interest rate trends and other factors.
Each Fund's average-weighted effective maturity will tend to be shorter when the
portfolio managers expect interest rates to rise and longer when the portfolio
managers expect interest rates to fall. The Funds may also use futures, options,
and other derivatives to manage interest rate risk.

6. WHAT IS MEANT BY "AVERAGE-WEIGHTED EFFECTIVE MATURITY"?

     The stated maturity of a bond is the date when the issuer must repay the
bond's entire principal value to an investor. Some types of bonds may also have
an "effective maturity" that is shorter than the stated date due to prepayment
or call provisions. Securities without prepayment or call provisions generally
have an effective maturity equal to their stated maturity. Average-weighted
effective maturity is calculated by averaging the effective maturity of bonds
held by a Fund with each effective maturity "weighted" according to the
percentage of net assets that it represents.

7. WHAT IS MEANT BY "DURATION"?

     A bond's duration indicates the time it will take investors to recoup their
investment. Unlike average maturity, duration reflects both principal and
interest payments. Generally, the higher the coupon rate on a bond, the lower
its duration will be. The duration of a bond portfolio is calculated by
averaging the duration of bonds held by a Fund with each duration "weighted"
according to the percentage of net assets that it represents. Because duration
accounts for interest payments, a Fund's duration is usually shorter than its
average maturity.

RISKS

     Because each Fund invests substantially all of its assets in fixed-income
securities or income-generating securities, it is subject to risks such as
credit risk and interest rate increases. A Fund's performance may also be
affected by risks of certain types of investments, such as foreign (non-U.S.)
securities and derivative instruments.

     Each Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and is therefore
subject to the risk that the investment strategies employed for the Fund may
fail to produce the intended results.

     Janus Capital manages many funds and numerous other accounts. Management of
multiple accounts may involve conflicts of interest among those accounts, and
may create potential risks, such as the risk that investment activity in one
account may adversely affect another account. For example, short sale activity
in an account could adversely affect the market value of long positions in one


                                       10



or more other accounts (and vice versa). Additionally, Janus Capital is the
adviser to the Janus "funds of funds," which are funds that invest primarily in
other underlying mutual funds managed by Janus Capital. Because Janus Capital is
the adviser to the Janus "fund of funds" and the funds, it is subject to certain
potential conflicts of interest when allocating the assets of the Janus "fund of
funds" among such funds. To the extent that a Fund is an underlying fund in a
Janus "fund of funds," a potential conflict of interest arises when allocating
the assets of the Janus "fund of funds" to that Fund. Purchases and redemptions
of fund shares by a Janus "fund of funds" due to reallocations or rebalancings
may result in a fund having to sell securities or invest cash when it otherwise
would not do so. Such transactions could accelerate the realization of taxable
income if sales of securities resulted in gains and could also increase a fund's
transaction costs. Large redemptions by a Janus "fund of funds" may cause a
Fund's expense ratio to increase due to a resulting smaller asset base. A
further discussion of potential conflicts of interest and a discussion of
certain procedures intended to mitigate such potential conflicts are contained
in each Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CERTAIN RISKS

     The following questions and answers are designed to help you better
understand some of the risks of investing in each Fund.

1. ARE THERE SPECIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTMENTS IN HIGH-YIELD/HIGH-RISK
BONDS?

     High-yield/high-risk bonds (or "junk" bonds) are bonds rated below
investment grade by the primary rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's,
Fitch, and Moody's or are unrated bonds of similar quality. The value of lower
quality bonds generally is more dependent on credit risk and default risk than
investment grade bonds. Issuers of high-yield/high-risk bonds may not be as
strong financially as those issuing bonds with higher credit ratings and are
more vulnerable to real or perceived economic changes, political changes, or
adverse developments specific to the issuer. In addition, the junk bond market
can experience sudden and sharp price swings.

     The secondary market on which high-yield securities are traded may be less
liquid than the market for investment grade securities. The lack of a liquid
secondary market may have an adverse impact on the market price of the security.
Secondary markets for high-yield securities are less liquid than the market for
investment grade securities; therefore, it may be more difficult to value the
securities because valuation may require more research, and elements of judgment
may play a larger role in the valuation because there is less reliable,
objective data available.

     Because each Fund may invest without limit in high-yield/high-risk bonds,
investors should be willing to tolerate a corresponding increase in the risk of
significant and sudden changes in NAV.

     Please refer to the "Explanation of Rating Categories" section of the JAD
High-Yield Fund's Prospectus for a description of bond rating categories.

2. WHAT IS MEANT BY "CREDIT QUALITY" AND WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH IT?

     Credit quality measures the likelihood that the issuer or borrower will
meet its obligations on a bond. One of the fundamental risks is credit risk,
which is the risk that an issuer will be unable to make principal and interest
payments when due, or default on its obligations. This may negatively impact a
Fund's returns. U.S. Government securities are generally considered to be the
safest type of investment in terms of credit risk. Municipal obligations
generally rank between U.S. Government securities and corporate debt securities
in terms of credit safety. Corporate debt securities, particularly those rated
below investment grade, present the highest credit risk.

3. HOW IS CREDIT QUALITY MEASURED?

     Ratings published by nationally recognized statistical rating agencies such
as Standard & Poor's, Fitch, and Moody's are widely accepted measures of credit
risk. The lower a bond issue is rated by an agency, the more credit risk it is
considered to represent. Lower rated instruments and securities generally pay
higher yields to compensate investors for the associated risk. Please refer to
the "Explanation of Rating Categories" section of the JAD High-Yield Fund's
Prospectus for a description of bond rating categories.

4. HOW COULD A FUND'S INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN SECURITIES AFFECT ITS PERFORMANCE?

     Within the parameters of its specific investment policies, each Fund may
invest in foreign debt and equity securities either indirectly (e.g., depositary
receipts, depositary shares, and passive foreign investment companies) or
directly in foreign markets, including emerging markets. Investments in foreign
securities, including those of foreign governments, may involve greater risks
than investing in domestic securities because each Fund's performance may depend
on factors other than the performance of a particular company. These factors
include:

     -    Currency Risk. As long as a Fund holds a foreign security, its value
          will be affected by the value of the local currency relative to the
          U.S. dollar. When a Fund sells a foreign currency denominated
          security, its value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the
          security increases in value in its home country. U.S.
          dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected
          by currency risk due to the overall impact of exposure to the issuer's
          local currency.

     -    Political and Economic Risk. Foreign investments may be subject to
          heightened political and economic risks, particularly in emerging
          markets which may have relatively unstable governments, immature
          economic structures, national policies restricting investments by
          foreigners, different legal systems, and economies based on only a few
          industries. In some countries, there is the risk that the government
          may take over the assets or operations of a company or that the
          government may impose taxes or limits on the removal of a Fund's
          assets from that country.

     -    Regulatory Risk. There may be less government supervision of foreign
          markets. As a result, foreign issuers may not be subject to the
          uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and
          practices applicable to domestic issuers, and there may be less
          publicly available information about foreign issuers.

     -    Foreign Market Risk. Foreign securities markets, particularly those of
          emerging market countries, may be less liquid and more volatile than
          domestic markets. Certain markets may require payment for securities
          before delivery, and delays may be encountered in settling securities
          transactions. In some foreign markets, there may not be protection
          against failure by other parties to complete transactions. Such
          factors may hinder a Fund's ability to buy and sell emerging market
          securities in a timely manner, affecting the Fund's investment
          strategies and potentially affecting the value of the Fund.

     -    Transaction Costs. Costs of buying, selling, and holding foreign
          securities, including brokerage, tax, and custody costs, may be higher
          than those involved in domestic transactions.

5. HOW DO THE FUNDS TRY TO REDUCE RISK?

     Each Fund may use short sales, futures, options, swap agreements
(including, but not limited to, equity, interest rate, credit default, and total
return swaps), and other derivative instruments individually or in combination
to "hedge" or protect its portfolio from adverse movements in securities prices
and interest rates. The Funds may also use a variety of currency hedging
techniques, including the use of forward currency contracts, to manage currency
risk. There is no guarantee that derivative investments will benefit a Fund. A
Fund's performance could be worse than if the Fund had not used such
instruments.

6. WHAT IS "INDUSTRY RISK"?

     Industry risk is the possibility that a group of related securities will
decline in price due to industry-specific developments. Companies in the same or
similar industries may share common characteristics and are more likely to react
similarly to industry-specific market or economic developments. A Fund's
investments, if any, in multiple companies in a particular industry increase the
Fund's exposure to industry risk.

GENERAL PORTFOLIO POLICIES

     Unless otherwise stated, the following general policies apply to each Fund.
Except for a Fund's policies with respect to investments in illiquid securities,
the percentage limitations included in these policies and elsewhere in this
Prospectus/Information Statement and/or the Fund's Statement of Additional
Information normally apply only at the


                                       12



time of purchase of a security. So, for example, if a Fund exceeds a limit as a
result of market fluctuations or the sale of other securities, it will not be
required to dispose of any securities.

CASH POSITION

     The Funds may not always stay fully invested. For example, when the
portfolio managers believe that market conditions are unfavorable for profitable
investing, or when they are otherwise unable to locate attractive investment
opportunities, a Fund's cash or similar investments may increase. In other
words, cash or similar investments generally are a residual - they represent the
assets that remain after a Fund has committed available assets to desirable
investment opportunities. When a Fund's investments in cash or similar
investments increase, it may not participate in market advances or declines to
the same extent that it would if the Fund remained more fully invested. To the
extent a Fund invests its uninvested cash through a sweep program, it is subject
to the risks of the account or fund into which it is investing, including
liquidity issues that may delay the Fund from accessing its cash.

     In addition, a Fund may temporarily increase its cash position under
certain unusual circumstances, such as to protect its assets or maintain
liquidity in certain circumstances, for example, to meet unusually large
redemptions. A Fund's cash position may also increase temporarily due to
unusually large cash inflows. Under unusual circumstances such as these, a Fund
may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or similar investments. In this
case, the Fund may take positions that are inconsistent with its investment
objective. As a result, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

     In general, each Fund intends to purchase securities for long-term
investment, although, to a limited extent, each Fund may purchase securities in
anticipation of relatively short-term price gains. Short-term transactions may
also result from liquidity needs, securities having reached a price or yield
objective, changes in interest rates or the credit standing of an issuer, or by
reason of economic or other developments not foreseen at the time of the
investment decision. A Fund may also sell one security and simultaneously
purchase the same or a comparable security to take advantage of short-term
differentials in bond yields or securities prices. Portfolio turnover is
affected by market conditions, changes in the size of a Fund, the nature of a
Fund's investments, and the investment style of the portfolio managers. Changes
are normally made in a Fund's portfolio whenever the portfolio managers believe
such changes are desirable. Portfolio turnover rates are generally not a factor
in making buy and sell decisions.

     Due to the nature of the securities in which each Fund invests, it may have
relatively high portfolio turnover compared to other funds.

     Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs for brokerage
commissions, dealer mark-ups, and other transaction costs, and may also result
in taxable capital gains. Higher costs associated with increased portfolio
turnover may offset gains in a Fund's performance.

COUNTERPARTIES

     Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the
counterparty or third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund
("counterparty risk"). Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty's
financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency),
market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A
counterparty's inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant
financial loss to the Fund. A Fund may not recover its investment or may obtain
a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed.

     Each Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through participation in
various programs including, but not limited to, lending its securities to third
parties, cash sweep arrangements whereby a Fund's cash balance is invested in
one or more money market funds, as well as investments in, but not limited to,
repurchase agreements, debt securities, and derivatives, including various types
of swaps, futures, and options. Each Fund intends to enter into financial
transactions with counterparties that Janus Capital believes to be creditworthy
at the time of the transaction. There is always the risk that Janus Capital's
analysis of creditworthiness is incorrect or may change due to market
conditions. To the extent that a Fund focuses its transactions with a limited
number of counterparties, it will be more susceptible to the risks associated
with one or more counterparties.


                                       13



OTHER TYPES OF INVESTMENTS

     Unless otherwise stated within its specific investment policies, each Fund
may also invest in other types of domestic and foreign securities and use other
investment strategies, as described in Appendix B. These securities and
strategies are not principal investment strategies of a Fund. If successful,
they may benefit a Fund by earning a return on the Fund's assets or reducing
risk; however, they may not achieve the Fund's investment objective. These
securities and strategies may include:

     -    equity securities

     -    other debt securities

     -    exchange-traded funds

     -    pass-through securities including mortgage- and asset-backed
          securities and mortgage dollar rolls (without limit)

     -    zero coupon, pay-in-kind, and step coupon securities (without limit)

     -    various derivative transactions (which could comprise a significant
          percentage of a Fund's portfolio) including, but not limited to,
          options, futures, forwards, swap agreements (such as equity, interest
          rate, credit default, and total return swaps), participatory notes,
          structured notes, and other types of derivatives individually or in
          combination for hedging purposes or for nonhedging purposes such as
          seeking to enhance return, to protect unrealized gains, or to avoid
          realizing losses; such techniques may also be used to gain exposure to
          the market pending investment of cash balances or to meet liquidity
          needs

     -    short sales (no more than 10% of a Fund's net assets may be invested
          in short sales other than against the box)

     -    securities purchased on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward
          commitment basis

     -    entering into transactions to manage a Fund's realization of capital
          gains and to offset such realization of capital gains with capital
          losses where the portfolio managers believe it is appropriate; such
          techniques may result in increased transaction costs paid by a Fund
          and may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related
          regulations

MORTGAGE- AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

     Each Fund may purchase fixed or variable rate mortgage-backed securities
issued by the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), the
Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), or other governmental or
government-related entities. Each Fund may purchase other mortgage- and
asset-backed securities through single- and multi-seller conduits,
collateralized debt obligations, structured investment vehicles, and other
similar securities. Asset-backed securities may be backed by automobile loans,
equipment leases, credit card receivables, or other collateral. In the event the
underlying securities fail to perform, these investment vehicles could be forced
to sell the assets and recognize losses on such assets, which could impact a
Fund's yield and your return.

     Unlike traditional debt instruments, payments on these securities include
both interest and a partial payment of principal. Prepayments of the principal
of underlying loans may shorten the effective maturities of these securities and
may result in a Fund having to reinvest proceeds at a lower interest rate.

     In addition to prepayment risk, investments in mortgage-backed securities,
including those comprised of subprime mortgages, and investments in other
asset-backed securities comprised of under-performing assets may be subject to a
higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.

SHORT SALES

     To a limited extent, each Fund may engage in short sales. A short sale is
subject to the risk that if the price of the security sold short increases in
value, a Fund will incur a loss because it will have to replace the security
sold short by purchasing it at a higher price. In addition, a Fund may not
always be able to close out a short position at a particular time or at an
acceptable price. A Fund's losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale
transaction. A lender may request, or market conditions may dictate, that the
securities sold short be returned to the lender on short notice, and a Fund may
have to buy the securities sold short at an unfavorable price. If this occurs at
a time that other short sellers of the same security also want to close out
their positions, it is more likely that a Fund will have to cover its short sale
at an unfavorable price and potentially reduce or eliminate any gain, or cause a
loss, as a result of the short sale.


                                       14



     Due to certain foreign countries' restrictions, a Fund will not be able to
engage in short sales in certain foreign countries where it may maintain long
positions. As a result, a Fund's ability to fully implement a short selling
strategy that could otherwise help the Fund pursue its investment goals may be
limited.

     Although Janus Capital believes that its rigorous "bottom up" approach will
be effective in selecting short positions, there is no assurance that Janus
Capital will be successful in applying this approach when engaging in short
sales.

SWAP AGREEMENTS

     Each Fund may utilize swap agreements as a means to gain exposure to
certain common stocks and/or to "hedge" or protect its portfolio from adverse
movements in securities prices and interest rates. Swap agreements are two-party
contracts to exchange one set of cash flows for another. Swap agreements entail
the risk that a party will default on its payment obligations to a Fund. If the
other party to a swap defaults, a Fund would risk the loss of the net amount of
the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. If a Fund utilizes a
swap at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the swap may
result in a loss to the Fund and reduce the Fund's total return. Various types
of swaps such as credit default, equity, interest rate, and total return swaps
are described in Appendix B.

SECURITIES LENDING

     A Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to
certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. Each Fund may lend portfolio
securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to one-third of its total
assets as determined at the time of the loan. When a Fund lends its securities,
it receives collateral (including cash collateral), at least equal to the value
of securities loaned. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent,
the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Fund may
experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the
collateral. If the Fund is unable to recover a security on loan, the Fund may
use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a
risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the
replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting
in a loss to the Fund.

ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS

     Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
An illiquid investment is a security or other position that cannot be disposed
of quickly in the normal course of business. For example, some securities are
not registered under U.S. securities laws and cannot be sold to the U.S. public
because of SEC regulations (these are known as "restricted securities"). Under
procedures adopted by each Fund's Board of Trustees, certain restricted
securities may be deemed liquid and will not be counted toward this 15% limit.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS

     Each Fund may invest in companies that demonstrate special situations or
turnarounds, meaning companies that have experienced significant business
problems but are believed to have favorable prospects for recovery. For example,
a special situation or turnaround may arise when, in the opinion of a Fund's
portfolio managers, the securities of a particular issuer will be recognized by
the market and appreciate in value due to a specific development with respect to
that issuer. Special situations may include significant changes in a company's
allocation of its existing capital, a restructuring of assets, or a redirection
of free cash flow. For example, issuers undergoing significant capital changes
may include companies involved in spin-offs, sales of divisions, mergers or
acquisitions, companies emerging from bankruptcy, or companies initiating large
changes in their debt to equity ratio. Companies that are redirecting cash flows
may be reducing debt, repurchasing shares, or paying dividends. Special
situations may also result from: (i) significant changes in industry structure
through regulatory developments or shifts in competition; (ii) a new or improved
product, service, operation, or technological advance; (iii) changes in senior
management or other extraordinary corporate event; (iv) differences in market
supply of and demand for the security; or (v) significant changes in cost
structure. A Fund's performance could suffer from its investments in "special
situations."

COMPARISON OF FEES AND EXPENSES

     Currently, the Funds have similar investment advisory agreements and pay
the same advisory fee, 0.65% per annum of each Fund's average net assets for the
first $300 million, and 0.55% per annum of each Fund's average net assets over
$300 million.

CURRENT AND PRO FORMA FEES AND EXPENSES

     The following tables compare the fees and expenses you may bear directly or
indirectly as an investor in JAD High-Yield Fund versus JIF High-Yield Fund, and
show the projected ("pro forma") estimated fees and expenses of JIF High-Yield
Fund, assuming consummation of the Reorganization as of October 31, 2008. Fees
and expenses shown for JAD High-Yield Fund were determined based on the Fund's
net assets as of its fiscal year ended July 31, 2008. The pro forma fees and
expenses shown for JIF High-Yield Fund were determined based on the Fund's net
assets as of its fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The pro forma fees and
expenses are estimated in good faith and are hypothetical. THE FUNDS WILL NOT
BEAR ANY COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE REORGANIZATION.

SHAREHOLDER FEES

     Shareholder fees are those paid directly from your investment, such as
sales loads and redemption fees. Class A, C, I, R and S shares of JIF High-Yield
Fund will have substantially the same class characteristics as the Class A, C,
I, R and S Shares of JAD High-Yield Fund, respectively. JIF High-Yield Fund
currently does not offer Class A, C, I, R and S Shares. Upon the consummation of
the Reorganization, shares of these classes of JIF High-Yield Fund will be
established to correspond with shares of JAD High-Yield Fund.

----------
(1)  JIF High-Yield Fund currently does not offer Class A, Class C, Class I,
     Class R and Class S Shares. Upon the consummation of the Reorganization,
     shares of these classes of JIF High-Yield Fund will be established to
     correspond with shares of JAD High-Yield Fund.

(2)  Your financial intermediary may charge you a separate or additional fee for
     processing purchases and redemptions of shares.

(3)  Sales charge may be waived for certain investors, as described in the
     Shareholder's Guide (attached hereto as Appendix C).

(4)  A contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% may be imposed on certain
     redemptions of Class A Shares bought without an initial sales charge and
     then redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The contingent deferred sales
     charge is not reflected in the example.

(5)  A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% applies on Class C Shares
     redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The contingent deferred sales charge
     may be waived for certain investors, as described in the Shareholder's
     Guide (attached hereto as Appendix C).

(6)  The redemption fee may be waived in certain circumstances, as described in
     the Shareholder's Guide (attached hereto as Appendix C).

(7)  An exchange of shares from the Fund held for 90 days or less may be subject
     to the 2.00% redemption fee.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES

     Annual fund operating expenses are paid out of a Fund's assets and include
fees for portfolio management, maintenance of shareholder accounts, shareholder
servicing, accounting, and other services. You do not pay these fees directly,
but as the examples below show, these costs are borne indirectly by all
shareholders.

     The Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown below represent annualized
expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 for JAD High-Yield Fund and
those projected for JIF High-Yield Fund on a pro forma basis for the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2008 assuming consummation of the Reorganization. The pro
forma expenses include estimated costs of the larger JIF High-Yield Fund, which
may result in higher costs that over the long-term are anticipated to decline.
The Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not show current expenses for JIF
High-Yield Fund


                                       16



since, as noted above, the Fund does not currently offer any Class A, C, I, R
and S Shares. Neither the current nor pro forma Annual Fund Operating Expenses
include the effect of recent market volatility which may increase those expenses
to the extent there has been a decline in either Fund's asset levels.

EXPENSE LIMITATIONS

     Total annual fund operating expenses shown in the table below do not
include any expense limitations agreed to by Janus Capital. Currently, through
December 1, 2009, pursuant to a contract between Janus Capital and JAD
High-Yield Fund, Janus Capital reduces its investment advisory fee rate paid by
JAD High-Yield Fund by the amount by which the total operating expenses
allocated to any class of the Fund exceed 0.90% of average daily net assets for
the fiscal year. Currently, through March 1, 2010, pursuant to a contract
between Janus Capital and JIF High-Yield Fund, Janus Capital reduces its
investment advisory fee paid by JIF High-Yield Fund by the amount by which the
total operating expenses allocated to any class of the Fund exceed 0.90% of
average daily net assets for the fiscal year. For purposes of these waivers,
operating expenses do not include fees payable pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act, administrative services fees (applicable to Class R Shares and Class S
Shares), or items not normally considered operating expenses, such as interest,
dividends, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses (including,
but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs, acquired
fund fees and expenses and any indemnification related thereto). Assuming
consummation of the Reorganization, Janus Capital has contractually agreed to
reduce its investment advisory fee paid by JIF High-Yield Fund by the amount, if
any, by which the total operating expenses allocated to any class exceed 0.78%
of average daily net assets for the fiscal year until at least November 1, 2010.

     Based on expenses and asset levels of JIF High-Yield Fund as of October 31,
2008, assuming consummation of the Reorganization, the estimated pro forma
expense ratio of JIF High-Yield Fund shows that no fees are being waived.
Changes to expenses and asset levels of both the JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF
High-Yield Fund at the time of the Reorganization could trigger application of
the JIF High-Yield Fund's anticipated expense limit of 0.78% (with certain
expenses excluded from the waiver as noted above), resulting in a possible
reduction of the investment advisory fee payable to Janus Capital by JIF
High-Yield Fund.

----------
(1)  All expenses are shown without the effect of expense offset arrangements.
     Pursuant to such arrangements, credits realized as a result of uninvested
     cash balances are used to reduce custodian and transfer agent expenses.

(2)  The "Management Fee" is the investment advisory fee rate paid by the Fund
     to Janus Capital. The Management Fee includes breakpoints that are based
     upon net asset levels. The Pro Forma Management Fee is based on the
     combined net assets of JAD Flexible Bond Fund and JIF Flexible Bond Fund.

(3)  Includes a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% for Class C Shares.
     Because the 12b-1 fee is charged as an ongoing fee, over time the fee will
     increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying
     other types of sales charges.

(4)  For Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares, Other Expenses may
     include administrative, networking, or omnibus positioning fees charged by
     intermediaries with respect to processing orders in Fund shares. For Class
     R Shares and Class S Shares, Other Expenses include an administrative
     services fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class to
     compensate Janus Services LLC for providing, or arranging for the provision
     of, recordkeeping, subaccounting, and administrative services to retirement
     plan participants, pension plan participants, or other underlying investors
     investing through institutional channels.

(5)  "Acquired Fund" means any underlying fund (including, but not limited to,
     exchange-traded funds) in which a Fund invests or has invested during the
     period. A Fund's "ratio of gross expenses to average net assets" appearing
     in the Financial Highlights tables in the Fund's current prospectus does
     not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and may not correlate to the
     Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the table above.

(6)  Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not reflect the application of
     contractual expense waivers by Janus Capital. Janus Capital has
     contractually agreed to waive the total operating expenses of (i) JAD
     High-Yield Fund and (ii) assuming the consummation of the Reorganization,
     JIF High-Yield Fund post-Reorganization (excluding the distribution and
     shareholder servicing fees (applicable to Class A Shares, Class C Shares,
     Class R Shares, and Class S Shares), administrative services fees
     (applicable to Class R Shares and Class S Shares), brokerage commissions,
     interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not
     limited to, acquired fund fees and expenses) to the extent such operating
     expenses exceed 0.90% and 0.78%, respectively, of average daily net assets
     on the fiscal year ending date in which the agreement is in effect. The
     agreement to contractually waive expenses of JIF High-Yield Fund
     post-Reorganization will be in effect unless terminated, revised, or
     extended until at least November 1, 2010. Refer to "Expense Limitations" in
     this Prospectus/Information Statement for the Funds' expense limit. With
     the waiver, Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses for each Fund are as
     follows:

EXAMPLES:

     THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES ARE BASED ON EXPENSES WITHOUT WAIVERS AS DISCUSSED
ABOVE UNDER "EXPENSE LIMITATIONS." These examples are intended to help you
compare the cost of investing in the Funds, under both the current fee structure
and the proposed fee structure, with the cost of investing in other mutual
funds. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Funds for the time
periods indicated and reinvest all dividends and distributions without a sales
charge. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year
and that the Funds' operating expenses without waivers remain the same. The
first example assumes that you redeem all of your Shares at the end of each
period. The second example assumes that you keep your Shares. Although your
actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs
would be as follows:

----------
(1)  Assumes the payment of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A Shares
     at the time of purchase for the Funds. The sales charge may be waived or
     reduced for certain investors, which would reduce the expenses for those
     investors.

(2)  A contingent deferred sales charge of up to 1.00% may be imposed on certain
     redemptions of Class A Shares bought without an initial sales charge and
     then redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The contingent deferred sales
     charge is not reflected in the example.

(3)  A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% applies on Class C Shares
     redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The contingent deferred sales charge
     may be waived for certain investors, as described in the Shareholder's
     Guide (attached hereto as Appendix C).

(4)  Contingent deferred sales charge is not applicable.

     pro forma management fee calculated as described in the text and related
     footnotes that accompany the fee table above.

COMPARISON OF FUND PERFORMANCE

     The following information provides some indication of the risks of
investing in the Funds by showing how each Fund's actual performance has varied
over time. The bar charts depict the change in performance from year to year
during the periods indicated. The bar chart figures do not include any
applicable sales charges that an investor may pay when they buy or sell shares
of a Fund. If sales charges were included, the returns would be lower. The table
following the charts shows how the performance of each Fund compares to
broad-based market indices (which, unlike the Funds, do not have any fees or
expenses). Each Fund's performance is compared to the Barclays Capital U.S.
Corporate High-Yield Bond Index (formerly named Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate
High-Yield Bond Index). After the Reorganization, it is expected that JIF
High-Yield Fund will continue to compare its performance to the Barclays Capital
U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index (formerly named Lehman Brothers U.S.
Corporate High-Yield Bond Index). The index is not actively managed and is not
available for direct investment. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends
and distributions. For certain periods, the Funds' performance may reflect the
effect of expense waivers. Without the effect of these waivers, the performance
shown would have been lower. The performance of the Funds and the index varies
over time. Of course, a Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not
necessarily an indication of future performance.

     After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual
federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and
local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your individual tax situation
and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. The after-tax return
information shown above does not apply to Fund shares held through a
tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan or IRA.

DISTRIBUTION AND PURCHASE PROCEDURES, EXCHANGE RIGHTS, AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES

     Class A, C, I, R and S Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund will have
substantially similar class characteristics as the Class A, C, I, R and S Shares
of JAD High-Yield Fund, respectively. JIF High-Yield Fund currently does not
offer Class A, C, I, R and S Shares. Upon consummation of the Reorganization,
shares of these classes of JIF High-Yield Fund will be established to correspond
with shares of JAD High-Yield Fund. For additional information about purchase
procedures, exchange rights and redemption procedures, please refer to the
Shareholder's Guide, attached as Appendix C.

     Janus Capital manages both JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF High-Yield Fund, and
Janus Distributors LLC ("Janus Distributors") is the distributor of each Fund.
In addition, the custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company, and transfer
agent, Janus Services LLC, are the same for both Funds. After the
Reorganization, JIF High-Yield Fund will have purchase, exchange, and redemption
procedures for Class A, C, I, R and S Shares that are the same or similar to
those of the corresponding share classes in JAD High-Yield Fund. Prior to the
Reorganization, the JIF Trust will adopt a new plan pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under
the 1940 Act which will make the share class characteristics of the JIF Trust
substantially similar to the share class characteristics of the JAD Trust.
Therefore, it is expected that shareholders of JAD High-Yield Fund will continue
to be subject to the same procedures and receive the same services as
shareholders of JIF High-Yield Fund, as they currently do as shareholders of JAD
High-Yield Fund.

CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

     The Funds each calculate their respective net asset value per share ("NAV")
once each business day at the close of the regular trading session of the New
York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). For additional
information about calculation of NAV, please refer to the Shareholder's Guide,
attached as Appendix C.

                               THE REORGANIZATION

THE PLAN

     The Plan sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Reorganization
will be implemented. Significant provisions of the Plan are summarized below;
however, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan,
which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

     The Plan contemplates: (i) JIF High-Yield Fund's acquisition of all or
substantially all of the assets of JAD High-Yield Fund in exchange solely for
shares of JIF High-Yield Fund and the assumption by JIF High-Yield Fund of all
of JAD High-Yield Fund's liabilities, if any, as of the Closing Date; (ii) the
distribution on the Closing Date of those shares to the shareholders of JAD
High-Yield Fund; and (iii) the complete liquidation of JAD High-Yield Fund.

     The value of JAD High-Yield Fund's assets to be acquired and the amount of
its liabilities to be assumed by JIF High-Yield Fund and the NAV of a share of
JAD High-Yield Fund will be determined as of the close of regular trading on the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on the Closing Date, after the declaration by
JAD High-Yield Fund of distributions, if any on the Closing Date, and will be
determined in accordance with the valuation methodologies described in JAD
High-Yield Fund's currently effective Prospectuses and Statement of Additional
Information. The Plan provides that Janus Capital will bear all costs and
expenses of the Reorganization, including the costs and expenses incurred in the
preparation and mailing of this Prospectus/Information Statement. The Closing
Date is expected to be on or about July 6, 2009.

     As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, JAD High-Yield Fund will
distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record the shares of JIF High-Yield
Fund it receives in the Reorganization, so that each shareholder of JAD
High-Yield Fund will receive a number of full and fractional shares of JIF
High-Yield Fund equal in value to his or her holdings in JAD High-Yield Fund,
and JAD High-Yield Fund will be liquidated.

     Such distribution will be accomplished by opening accounts on the books of
JIF High-Yield Fund in the names of JAD High-Yield Fund shareholders and by
transferring thereto the shares of JIF High-Yield Fund previously credited to
the account of JAD High-Yield Fund on those books. Each shareholder account
shall be credited with the pro rata number of JIF High-Yield Fund's shares due
to that shareholder. All issued and outstanding shares of JAD High-Yield Fund
will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the JAD Trust. Accordingly,
immediately after the Reorganization, each former shareholder of JAD High-Yield
Fund will own shares of JIF High-Yield Fund that will be


                                       21



equal to the value of that shareholder's shares of JAD High-Yield Fund as of the
Closing Date. Any special options will automatically transfer to the new fund
accounts.

     The implementation of the Reorganization is subject to a number of
conditions set forth in the Plan. The Plan also requires receipt of a tax
opinion indicating that, for federal income tax purposes, the Reorganization
qualifies as a tax-free reorganization. The Plan may be terminated and the
Reorganization abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date by the Boards of
Trustees if the Trustees determine that the Reorganization is not in the best
interests of the Funds. Please review the Plan carefully.

REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

     The Reorganization is part of some significant enhancements Janus Capital
has recently undertaken to reorganize and simplify its mutual fund offerings.
Janus Capital believes that these enhancements will provide both meaningful
short- and long-term benefits to fund shareholders. Janus Capital has
historically organized its retail mutual funds into two separate and distinct
trusts with different distribution models and pricing structures. Over time, the
funds offered under these two trusts have been substantially similar. Given
Janus Capital's evolving distribution model focused on servicing the
intermediary and advisor marketplace and the overlapping similarity of fund
offerings in the two trusts, Janus Capital believes that it is in the best
interests of all fund shareholders to merge funds of the two trusts that have
the same or substantially similar investment objectives, strategies, policies
and risks. These reorganizations will create one mutual fund platform with
multi-share class pricing intended to meet the needs of all investor types.
Through the reorganizations, shareholders are expected to benefit from the
following:

     -    The reorganizations provide Janus fund shareholders with the
          opportunity to continue to invest in a Janus mutual fund offering the
          same or substantially similar investment objectives, strategies,
          policies and risks, and with the same portfolio management, as their
          current fund, but as part of an enhanced fund platform;

     -    Janus Capital will have the opportunity to operate its platform more
          efficiently, providing the potential to reduce possible inefficiencies
          arising from having similarly managed mutual funds in the same fund

     -    As a result of the reorganizations, certain Janus funds will have
          larger asset bases, which may result in the elimination of duplicative
          expenses and lead to lower expense ratios in the future; and

     -    Janus Capital's evolving distribution model will permit difference
          types of shareholders to invest in the same Janus fund providing
          shareholders more investment options and the opportunity to invest in
          funds that have a more stable asset base.

     It is also noteworthy that the Reorganization is designed to qualify as a
tax-free reorganization, so shareholders of JAD High-Yield Fund should not
realize a tax gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization.

     Janus Capital met with the Trustees, all of whom are not "interested
persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) ("Independent Trustees"), counsel to the
Funds and counsel to the Independent Trustees on September 5, 2008, October 2,
2008, February 25, 2009 and March 11-12, 2009 to discuss Janus Capital's
proposal to reorganize the Funds. At each meeting, the Independent Trustees also
discussed this proposal and the Plan with their independent counsel in executive
session. During the course of these meetings, the Trustees requested and
considered such information as they deemed relevant to their deliberations.

     At the joint meeting of the Boards of Trustees of the JIF Trust and JAD
Trust held on March 12, 2009, the Trustees determined that (1) the
Reorganization is in the best interests of the shareholders of JAD High-Yield
Fund and JIF High-Yield Fund and (2) the Plan should be approved by the
Trustees. In making these determinations, the Trustees considered the following
factors, among others:

     (1)  The Reorganization is part of a larger strategic repositioning of
          Janus Capital's distribution model for Janus mutual funds that is
          designed to offer certain potential benefits to Fund shareholders that
          are not currently available, including a more diverse Fund shareholder
          base, the potential for a more stable level of Fund assets, and access
          to a wider-range of Janus funds with differing investment strategies.


                                       22



     (2)  The current conditions and trends in the securities markets and
          related trends in the investment management business, and their
          current and potential impact on Janus Capital, the JAD Trust and Fund
          shareholders.

     (3)  JAD High-Yield Fund has the same investment objective, strategies,
          policies and risks as JIF High-Yield Fund, and the two Funds have been
          managed by the same co-portfolio managers.

     (4)  The two Funds have similar historical performance.

     (5)  Shareholders of each Fund will have the opportunity to invest in a
          significantly larger Fund and potentially benefit from long-term
          economies of scale that may result from the Reorganization.

     (6)  Fund expenses are not expected to increase materially as a result of
          the Reorganization, and Janus Capital anticipates that in the future,
          the elimination of some duplicative expenses and the opportunity for
          economies of scale may result in lower future fund expenses (other
          than management fees).

     (7)  Both Funds have the same fee structure in accordance with which the
          advisory fee paid by each Fund to Janus Capital is 0.65% per annum of
          each Fund's average net assets for the first $300 million, and 0.55%
          per annum of each Fund's average net assets over $300 million.

     (8)  The expense limitation agreements applicable to each Fund which, after
          giving effect to fee waivers after the Reorganization, may result in
          current JAD High-Yield Fund shareholders paying higher fees in the
          short-term but provides greater longer term certainty with respect to
          total expense ratios.

     (9)  The benefits of the Reorganization to Janus Capital and its
          affiliates, including, among other things, that Janus Capital should
          derive greater efficiency, in terms of portfolio management and
          operations, by managing a single fund rather than two separate funds
          with substantially the same investment objective, strategies, policies
          and risks.

     (10) The Reorganization would not dilute the interests of either Fund's
          current shareholders.

     (11) The impact of the Reorganization on the ability of JIF High-Yield Fund
          to benefit from using a portion of the realized capital losses
          generated by JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF High-Yield Fund, as
          applicable, to offset or defer future gains on the sales of securities
          in certain circumstances.

     (12) The Reorganization, for each Fund and its shareholders, is expected to
          be tax-free in nature.

     (13) JAD High-Yield Fund's shareholders will not pay any of the costs of
          the Reorganization, and immediately after the Reorganization, the
          value of their shares in JIF High-Yield Fund will be the same as the
          value of their JAD High-Yield Fund holdings immediately prior to the
          Reorganization.

     Based on these considerations, among others, the Boards of Trustees of the
JAD Trust and JIF Trust concluded that: (1) the Reorganization is in the best
interests of JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF High-Yield Fund and their respective
shareholders; and (2) the interests of the existing shareholders of each Fund
will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Trustees
approved the Plan.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

     As a condition to the Reorganization, the JAD Trust and the JIF Trust will
receive a legal opinion from Dechert LLP, special counsel to Janus Capital,
substantially to the effect that, subject to customary assumptions and
representations, on the basis of the existing provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder and current administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, for
federal income tax purposes:

     -    the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of JAD
          High-Yield Fund solely in exchange for shares of JIF High-Yield Fund
          and the assumption by JIF High-Yield Fund of all liabilities of JAD
          High-Yield Fund, and the distribution of such shares to the
          shareholders of JAD High-Yield Fund, will constitute a
          "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code;

     -    no gain or loss will be recognized by JAD High-Yield Fund on the
          transfer of the assets of JAD High-Yield Fund to JIF High-Yield Fund
          in exchange for JIF High-Yield Fund shares and the assumption by JIF
          High-Yield Fund of all liabilities of JAD High-Yield Fund or upon the
          distribution of JIF High-Yield Fund shares to JAD High-Yield Fund
          shareholders in exchange for their shares of JAD High-Yield Fund;


                                       23



     -    the tax basis of JAD High-Yield Fund's assets acquired by JIF
          High-Yield Fund will be the same to JIF High-Yield Fund as the tax
          basis of such assets to JAD High-Yield Fund immediately prior to the
          Reorganization, and the holding period of the assets of JAD High-Yield
          Fund in the hands of JIF High-Yield Fund will include the period
          during which those assets were held by JAD High-Yield Fund;

     -    no gain or loss will be recognized by JIF High-Yield Fund upon the
          receipt of the assets of JAD High-Yield Fund solely in exchange for
          JIF High-Yield Fund shares and the assumption by JIF High-Yield Fund
          of all liabilities of JAD High-Yield Fund;

     -    no gain or loss will be recognized by shareholders of JAD High-Yield
          Fund upon the receipt of JIF High-Yield Fund shares by such
          shareholders, provided such shareholders receive solely JIF High-Yield
          Fund shares (including fractional shares) in exchange for their JAD
          High-Yield Fund shares; and

     -    the aggregate tax basis of JIF High-Yield Fund shares, including any
          fractional shares, received by each shareholder of JAD High-Yield Fund
          pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax
          basis of JAD High-Yield Fund shares held by such shareholder
          immediately prior to the Reorganization, and the holding period of JIF
          High-Yield Fund shares, including fractional shares, to be received by
          each shareholder of JAD High-Yield Fund will include the period during
          which JAD High-Yield Fund shares exchanged therefor were held by such
          shareholder (provided that JAD High-Yield Fund shares were held as a
          capital asset on the date of the Reorganization).

     The receipt of such an opinion is a condition to the consummation of the
Reorganization. The JAD Trust has not obtained an Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") private letter ruling regarding the federal income tax consequences of
the Reorganization, and the IRS is not bound by advice of counsel. If the
transfer of the assets of JAD High-Yield Fund in exchange for JIF High-Yield
Fund shares and the assumption by JIF High-Yield Fund of all liabilities of JAD
High-Yield Fund does not constitute a tax-free reorganization, each JAD
High-Yield Fund shareholder generally will recognize a gain or loss equal to the
difference between the value of JIF High-Yield Fund shares such shareholder
acquires and the tax basis of such shareholder's JAD High-Yield Fund shares.

     Prior to the Closing Date, JAD High-Yield Fund may pay to its shareholders
a cash distribution consisting of any undistributed investment company taxable
income and/or any undistributed realized net capital gains, including any gains
realized from any sales of assets prior to the Closing Date, which may be
attributable to portfolio transitioning. This distribution would be taxable to
shareholders that are subject to tax.

     Shareholders of JAD High-Yield Fund should consult their tax advisers
regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of their individual
circumstances. Since the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income
tax consequences of the Reorganization, shareholders of JAD High-Yield Fund
should also consult tax advisers as to state and local tax consequences, if any,
of the Reorganization.

     As of July 31, 2008, JAD High-Yield Fund had accumulated capital loss
carryforwards of $27,476. After the Reorganization, these losses may be
available to JIF High-Yield Fund, which had accumulated capital loss
carryforwards of $75,320,374, as of October 31, 2008. The final amount of the
accumulated capital loss carryforwards for JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF
High-Yield Fund is subject to change and will not be determined until the time
of the Reorganization. After and as a result of the Reorganization, these
accumulated capital loss carryforwards may in part be subject to limitations
under applicable tax laws. As a result, JIF High-Yield Fund may not be able to
use some or all of these losses, if any, as quickly as each Fund may have used
these losses in the absence of the Reorganization, and part of these losses may
not be useable at all. The Boards of Trustees of the JAD Trust and JIF Trust
took this factor into account in concluding that the Reorganization would be in
the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.

October 31, 2008 for JAD High-Yield Fund and JIF High-Yield Fund, as well as pro

     High-Yield Fund, respectively.

OTHER COMPARATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

INVESTMENT ADVISER

     Janus Capital, 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206-4805, is the
investment adviser to each Fund. Janus Capital is responsible for the day-to-day
management of each Fund's investment portfolio and furnishes continuous advice
and recommendations concerning each Fund's investments. Janus Capital also
provides certain administrative and other services and is responsible for other
business affairs of each Fund.

     Janus Capital (together with its predecessors) has served as investment
adviser to Janus mutual funds since 1970 and currently serves as investment
adviser to all of the Janus funds, acts as subadviser for a number of
private-label mutual funds, and provides separate account advisory services for
institutional accounts.

     Janus Capital furnishes certain administrative, compliance, and accounting
services for the Funds, and may be reimbursed by the Funds for its costs in
providing those services. In addition, employees of Janus Capital and/or its
affiliates serve as officers of the JIF Trust and the JAD Trust, and Janus
Capital provides office space for the Funds and pays all or a portion of the
salaries, fees, and expenses of all Fund officers (with some shared expenses
with the Funds of compensation payable to the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer
and compliance staff) and those Trustees who are considered interested persons
of Janus Capital. As of the date of this Prospectus/Information Statement, none
of the members of the Board of Trustees are "affiliated persons" of Janus
Capital as that term is defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.


                                       25



     From its own assets, Janus Capital or its affiliates may pay fees to
selected brokerage firms or other financial intermediaries that sell shares of
the Janus funds for distribution, marketing, promotional, or related services.
Such payments may be based on gross sales, assets under management, or
transactional charges, or on a combination of these factors. The amount of these
payments is determined from time to time by Janus Capital, may be substantial,
and may differ for different financial intermediaries. Payments based primarily
on sales create an incentive to make new sales of shares, while payments based
on assets create an incentive to retain previously sold shares. Sales- and
asset-based payments currently range up to 25 basis points on sales and up to 20
basis points on average annual net assets of shares held through the
intermediary and are subject to change. Payments based on transactional charges
may include the payment or reimbursement of all or a portion of "ticket
charges." Ticket charges are fees charged to salespersons purchasing through a
financial intermediary firm in connection with mutual fund purchases,
redemptions, or exchanges. The payment or reimbursement of ticket charges
creates an incentive for salespersons of an intermediary to sell shares of Janus
funds over shares of funds for which there is lesser or no payment or
reimbursement of any applicable ticket charge. Janus Capital and its affiliates
consider a number of factors in making payments to financial intermediaries,
including the distribution capabilities of the intermediary, the overall quality
of the relationship, expected gross and/or net sales generated by the
relationship, redemption and retention rates of assets held through the
intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to cooperate with Janus
Capital's marketing efforts, access to sales personnel, and the anticipated
profitability of sales through the institutional relationship. These factors may
change from time to time. Currently, these payments are limited to the top 100
distributors (measured by sales or expected sales of shares of the Janus funds).

     For all share classes of the Janus funds, Janus Capital, Janus
Distributors, or their affiliates may pay fees, from their own assets, to
brokerage firms, banks, financial advisors, retirement plan service providers,
and other financial intermediaries for providing other marketing or
distribution-related services, as well as recordkeeping, subaccounting,
transaction processing, and other shareholder or administrative services
(including payments for processing transactions via National Securities Clearing
Corporation ("NSCC") or other means) in connection with investments in the Janus
funds. These fees are in addition to any fees that may be paid by the Janus
funds for these types of services or other services.

     In addition, Janus Capital or its affiliates may also share certain
marketing expenses with intermediaries, or pay for or sponsor informational
meetings, seminars, client awareness events, support for marketing materials, or
business building programs for such intermediaries, to raise awareness of the
Janus funds. Such payments may be in addition to, or in lieu of, sales-based,
asset-based, and transaction-based payments. These payments are intended to
promote the sales of Janus funds and to reimburse financial intermediaries,
directly or indirectly, for the costs that they or their salespersons incur in
connection with educational seminars, meetings, and training efforts about the
Janus funds to enable the intermediaries and their salespersons to make suitable
recommendations, provide useful services, and maintain the necessary
infrastructure to make the Janus funds available to their customers.

     The receipt of (or prospect of receiving) sales-, asset-, and/or
transaction-based payments or reimbursements and other forms of compensation
described above may provide a financial intermediary and its salespersons with
an incentive to favor sales of Janus funds' shares over sales of other mutual
funds (or non-mutual fund investments) or to favor sales of one class of Janus
funds' shares over sales of another Janus funds' share class with respect to
which the financial intermediary does not receive such payments or receives them
in a lower amount. The receipt of these payments may cause certain financial
intermediaries to elevate the prominence of the Janus funds within such
financial intermediary's organization by, for example, placement on a list of
preferred or recommended funds and/or the provision of preferential or enhanced
opportunities to promote the Janus funds in various ways within such financial
intermediary's organization.

     The payment arrangements described above will not change the price an
investor pays for shares nor the amount that a Janus fund receives to invest on
behalf of the investor. You should consider whether such arrangements exist when
evaluating any recommendations from an intermediary to purchase or sell shares
of the Funds and when considering which share class of a Fund is most
appropriate for you. Please contact your financial intermediary or plan sponsor
for details on such arrangements.

MANAGEMENT EXPENSES

     Each Fund currently pays Janus Capital an investment advisory fee which is
calculated daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.65% per annum of the
Fund's average net assets for the first $300 million, and 0.55% per annum of the
Fund's average net assets over $300 million. Each Fund's investment advisory
agreement details the investment


                                       26



advisory fee and other expenses that the Funds pay. Each Fund incurs expenses
not assumed by Janus Capital, including any distribution and shareholder
servicing fees (12b-1 fee), transfer agent and custodian fees and expenses,
legal and auditing fees, printing and mailing costs of sending reports and other
information to existing shareholders, and Independent Trustees' fees and
expenses.

     (applicable to Class R and Class S Shares) and brokerage commissions,
     interest, dividends, taxes, and extraordinary expenses including, but not

     least December 1, 2009. Application of the expense waiver and its effect on
     annual fund operating expenses is reflected, when applicable, in the Annual
     Fund Operating Expenses table in the "Fees and Expenses" section of this
     Prospectus/Information Statement, and additional information is included
     under "Expense Limitations." The waiver is not reflected in the contractual
     fee rate shown.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FEES

     As noted above, upon the consummation of the Reorganization, Class A, C, I,
R and S Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund will be established with substantially the
same class characteristics as the Class A, C, I, R and S Shares of JAD
High-Yield Fund, respectively. There will be no change in the terms of
administrative services fees paid by shareholders of Class A, C, I, R and S
Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund after the Reorganization.

     Janus Services LLC, the transfer agent of the JAD Trust and the JIF Trust,
receives an administrative services fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the
average daily net assets of Class R and Class S Shares of each Fund for
providing, or arranging for the provision of, recordkeeping, subaccounting, and
other administrative services to investors. Janus Services LLC expects to use
all or a significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service
providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisers, and other
financial intermediaries for providing these services to their customers who
invest in the Funds.

     With respect to transactions in or for administrative services provided to
Class A, Class C and Class I Shares of the Funds, certain intermediaries may
charge networking, omnibus account, or other administrative fees. Transactions
may be processed through the NSCC or similar systems or processed on a manual
basis with Janus. These fees are paid by Class A, Class C and Class I Shares of
each Fund to Janus Services LLC, which uses such fees to reimburse
intermediaries. In the event an intermediary receiving payments from Janus
Services LLC on behalf of a Fund converts from a networking structure to an
omnibus account structure or otherwise experiences increased costs, fees borne
by the shares may increase.

CHARTER DOCUMENTS

     JIF High-Yield Fund is a series of the JIF Trust, a Massachusetts business
trust governed by Massachusetts law. JIF High-Yield Fund is governed by an
Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated March 18, 2003, as
amended from time to time ("JIF Trust Instrument"). The following is a summary
of certain provisions of the JIF Trust Instrument and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the JIF Trust Instrument.

     Voting. A shareholder is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset
value standing in such shareholder's name on the books of the JIF Trust (and a
fractional vote for each fractional dollar). Generally, all funds and classes
vote together as a single group, except where a separate vote of one or more
funds or classes is required by law or where the interests of one or more funds
or classes are affected differently from other funds or classes. Shares of all
series of the JIF Trust have noncumulative voting rights, which means that the
holders of more than 50% of the value of shares of all series of the JIF Trust
voting for the election of Trustees can elect 100% of the Trustees if they
choose to do so. In such event, the holders of the remaining value of shares
will not be able to elect any Trustees.

     All shares of a fund participate equally in dividends and other
distributions by the shares of the same class of that fund, and in residual
assets of that class of that fund in the event of liquidation. Shares of each
fund have no preemptive, conversion, or appraisal rights. Shares of each fund
may be transferred by endorsement or stock power as is customary, but a fund is
not bound to recognize any transfer until it is recorded on its books. The funds
have the right to redeem, at the then current NAV, the shares of any shareholder
whose account does not meet certain minimum requirements as described in the
funds' prospectus(es).

     Shareholder Meetings. The JIF Trust is not required, and does not intend,
to hold annual shareholder meetings unless otherwise required by the JIF Trust
Instrument, the 1940 Act or in compliance with any regulatory order. Under the
terms of a settlement reached between Janus and the SEC in August 2004,
commencing in 2005 and not less than every fifth calendar year thereafter, the
JIF Trust will hold a meeting of shareholders to elect Trustees. Special
meetings may be called for a specific fund or for the JIF Trust for purposes
such as election of Trustees, when required by the JIF Trust Instrument or to
comply with the 1940 Act or a regulatory order. Under the JIF Trust Instrument,
special meetings of shareholders of the JIF Trust or of any fund shall be called
upon written request of shareholders holding not less than 10% of the shares
then outstanding.

     Shareholder Liability. Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a
Massachusetts business trust could, under certain circumstances, be held liable
for the obligations of their fund. However, the JIF Trust Instrument disclaims
shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the funds and requires that
notice of this disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument
entered into or executed by the funds or the Trustees. The JIF Trust Instrument
also provides for indemnification from the assets of the funds for all losses
and expenses of any Fund shareholder held liable for the obligations of their
fund.

     The Trustees intend to conduct the operations of the funds to avoid, to the
extent possible, liability of shareholders for liabilities of their fund.

     Trustee Liability. A Trustee shall be liable for such Trustee's own willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee, and shall not be liable for


                                       28



errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. All persons extending credit to,
contracting with or having any claim against the JIF Trust shall look only to
the assets of a fund with which such person dealt for payment under such credit,
contract, or claim.

     Liquidation or Dissolution. In the event of the liquidation or dissolution
of the Trust, shareholders of the funds are entitled to receive, when and as
declared by the Trustees, the excess of the assets belonging to their fund, or
in the case of a class, belonging to that fund and allocable to that class, over
the liabilities belonging to that fund or class. The assets shall be distributed
to shareholders in proportion to the relative NAV of the shares of that fund or
class held by them and recorded on the books of the JIF Trust. The liquidation
of any particular fund or class thereof may be authorized at any time by vote of
a majority of the Trustees then in office. Shareholders will receive prior
notice of any liquidation effecting their fund or class.

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization and
liquidation within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The reorganization (the
"Reorganization") will consist of the transfer by the Predecessor Fund of all or
substantially all of its assets to the Successor Fund, in exchange solely for
[Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] voting shares of beneficial
interest in the Successor Fund (the "Successor Fund Shares") having an aggregate
net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the same class of
shares of the Predecessor Fund, the assumption by the Successor Fund of all the
liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, and the distribution of the [Class A, Class
C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares to the shareholders of
the Predecessor Fund in complete liquidation of the Predecessor Fund as provided
herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this
Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD Trust and the JIF Trust has
determined that it is in the best interest of the Predecessor Fund and the
Successor Fund, respectively, that the assets of the Predecessor Fund be
acquired by the Successor Fund pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with
the applicable statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of
Delaware, and that the interests of existing shareholders will not be diluted as
a result of this transaction;

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD Trust
and the JIF Trust are entering into separate Plans of Reorganization which
contemplate the reorganization of certain series of the JAD Trust into existing
series of the JIF Trust (each a "Preexisting Fund Reorganization"); and

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD Trust
and the JIF Trust are entering into separate Plans of Reorganization which

created series of the JIF Trust (each a "Shell Reorganization").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as
follows:

1. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the JAD Trust shall
(i) transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Predecessor Fund, as
set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Successor Fund, (ii) the JIF Trust shall
cause the Successor Fund to deliver to the JAD Trust full and fractional [Class
A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares having an
aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the aggregate net assets of the
same class of shares of the Predecessor Fund as of the close of regular session
trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date, as set forth in
paragraph 2.1 (the "Closing Date") and (iii) the JIF Trust shall cause the
Successor Fund to assume all liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, as set forth
in paragraph 1.2. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for
in paragraph 2.1 (the "Closing").

1.2 The assets of the Predecessor Fund to be acquired by the Successor Fund
shall consist of all property, including, without limitation, all cash,
securities, commodities and futures interests, and dividends or interest
receivable which are owned by the Predecessor Fund and any deferred or prepaid
expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Predecessor Fund on the Closing
Date. The Successor Fund will assume all of the liabilities, expenses, costs,
charges and reserves of the Predecessor Fund of any kind, whether absolute,
accrued, contingent or otherwise in existence on the Closing Date.

1.3 The Predecessor Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record
of the applicable classes, determined as


                                      A-1



of immediately after the close of business on the Closing Date (the "Current
Shareholders"), the [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor
Fund Shares received by the JAD Trust pursuant to paragraph 1.1. Such
distribution and liquidation will be accomplished by the transfer of the [Class
A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares then credited to
the accounts of the Predecessor Fund on the books of the Successor Fund to open
accounts on the share records of the Successor Fund in the names of the Current
Shareholders and representing the respective pro rata number of the [Class A,

simultaneously be canceled on the books of the JAD Trust. The Successor Fund
shall not issue certificates representing the [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class
R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares in connection with such exchange. Ownership
of [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares will
be shown on the books of the JIF Trust's transfer agent. As soon as practicable
after the Closing, the JAD Trust shall take all steps necessary to effect a
complete liquidation of the Predecessor Fund.

2. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

2.1 The Closing Date shall be July 6, 2009, or such other date as the parties

Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The close of business on

have been credited to the accounts of the Predecessor Fund on the books of the
Successor Fund. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills
of sales, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other

           OTHER INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND RELATED RISKS OF THE FUNDS

Unless otherwise stated within its specific investment policies, each Fund may
also invest in other types of domestic and foreign securities and use other
investment strategies as described below. These securities and strategies are
not principal investment strategies of the Funds. If successful, they may
benefit the Funds by earning a return on the Funds' assets or reducing risk;
however, they may not achieve the Funds' objective. Additional information
regarding these investment techniques and risks is included in each Fund's
Statement of Additional Information. These securities and strategies may
include:

EQUITY AND DEBT SECURITIES

BANK LOANS include institutionally-traded floating and fixed-rate debt
securities generally acquired as a participation interest in or assignment of a
loan originated by a lender or financial institution. Assignments and
participations involve credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Interest rates
on floating rate securities adjust with interest rate changes and/or issuer
credit quality. If a Fund purchases a participation interest, it may only be
able to enforce its rights through the lender and may assume the credit risk of
both the borrower and the lender. Additional risks are involved in purchasing
assignments. If a loan is foreclosed, a Fund may become part owner of any
collateral securing the loan and may bear the costs and liabilities associated
with owning and disposing of any collateral. The Fund could be held liable as a
co-lender. In addition, there is no assurance that the liquidation of any
collateral from a secured loan would satisfy a borrower's obligations or that
any collateral could be liquidated. A Fund may have difficulty trading
assignments and participations to third parties or selling such securities in
secondary markets, which in turn may affect the Fund's NAV.

BONDS are debt securities issued by a company, municipality, government, or
government agency. The issuer of a bond is required to pay the holder the amount
of the loan (or par value of the bond) at a specified maturity and to make
scheduled interest payments.

CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION ("COPS") are certificates representing an interest
in a pool of securities. Holders are entitled to a proportionate interest in the
underlying securities. Municipal lease obligations are often sold in the form of
COPs. Refer to "Municipal lease obligations" below.

COMMERCIAL PAPER is a short-term debt obligation with a maturity ranging from 1
to 270 days issued by banks, corporations, and other borrowers to investors
seeking to invest idle cash. A Fund may purchase commercial paper issued in
private placements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act").

COMMON STOCKS are equity securities representing shares of ownership in a
company and usually carry voting rights and earn dividends. Unlike preferred
stock, dividends on common stock are not fixed but are declared at the
discretion of the issuer's board of directors.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are preferred stocks or bonds that pay a fixed dividend
or interest payment and are convertible into common stock at a specified price
or conversion ratio.

DEBT SECURITIES are securities representing money borrowed that must be repaid
at a later date. Such securities have specific maturities and usually a specific
rate of interest or an original purchase discount.

DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS are receipts for shares of a foreign-based corporation that
entitle the holder to dividends and capital gains on the underlying security.
Receipts include those issued by domestic banks (American Depositary Receipts),
foreign banks (Global or European Depositary Receipts), and broker-dealers
(depositary shares).

EQUITY SECURITIES generally include domestic and foreign common stocks;
preferred stocks; securities convertible into common stocks or preferred stocks;
warrants to purchase common or preferred stocks; and other securities with
equity characteristics.

EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS are index-based investment companies which hold
substantially all of their assets in securities with equity characteristics. As
a shareholder of another investment company, a Fund would bear its pro rata
portion of


                                      B-1



the other investment company's expenses, including advisory fees, in addition to
the expenses the Fund bears directly in connection with its own operations.

FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES are securities that pay a specified rate of return. The
term generally includes short- and long-term government, corporate, and
municipal obligations that pay a specified rate of interest, dividends, or
coupons for a specified period of time. Coupon and dividend rates may be fixed
for the life of the issue or, in the case of adjustable and floating rate
securities, for a shorter period.

HIGH-YIELD/HIGH-RISK BONDS are bonds that are rated below investment grade by
the primary rating agencies (i.e., BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor's and Fitch,
or Ba or lower by Moody's). Other terms commonly used to describe such bonds
include "lower rated bonds," "non-investment grade bonds," and "junk bonds."

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS are revenue bonds that are issued by a public
authority but which may be backed only by the credit and security of a private
issuer and may involve greater credit risk. Refer to "Municipal securities"
below.

MORTGAGE- AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES are shares in a pool of mortgages or other
debt instruments. These securities are generally pass-through securities, which
means that principal and interest payments on the underlying securities (less
servicing fees) are passed through to shareholders on a pro rata basis. These
securities involve prepayment risk, which is the risk that the underlying
mortgages or other debt may be refinanced or paid off prior to their maturities
during periods of declining interest rates. In that case, a Fund may have to
reinvest the proceeds from the securities at a lower rate. Potential market
gains on a security subject to prepayment risk may be more limited than
potential market gains on a comparable security that is not subject to
prepayment risk.

MORTGAGE DOLLAR ROLLS are transactions in which a Fund sells a mortgage-related
security, such as a security issued by GNMA, to a dealer and simultaneously
agrees to purchase a similar security (but not the same security) in the future
at a predetermined price. A "dollar roll" can be viewed as a collateralized
borrowing in which a Fund pledges a mortgage-related security to a dealer to
obtain cash.

MUNICIPAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS are revenue bonds backed by leases or installment
purchase contracts for property or equipment. Lease obligations may not be
backed by the issuing municipality's credit and may involve risks not normally
associated with general obligation bonds and other revenue bonds. For example,
their interest may become taxable if the lease is assigned and the holders may
incur losses if the issuer does not appropriate funds for the lease payments on
an annual basis, which may result in termination of the lease and possible
default.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES are bonds or notes issued by a U.S. state or political
subdivision. A municipal security may be a general obligation backed by the full
faith and credit (i.e., the borrowing and taxing power) of a municipality or a
revenue obligation paid out of the revenues of a designated project, facility,
or revenue source.

PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES are shares or certificates of interest in a pool of debt
obligations that have been repackaged by an intermediary, such as a bank or
broker-dealer.

PASSIVE FOREIGN INVESTMENT COMPANIES (PFICS) are any foreign corporations which
generate certain amounts of passive income or hold certain amounts of assets for
the production of passive income. Passive income includes dividends, interest,
royalties, rents, and annuities. To avoid taxes and interest that a Fund must
pay if these investments are profitable, the Funds may make various elections
permitted by the tax laws. These elections could require that a Fund recognize
taxable income, which in turn must be distributed, before the securities are
sold and before cash is received to pay the distributions.

PAY-IN-KIND BONDS are debt securities that normally give the issuer an option to
pay cash at a coupon payment date or give the holder of the security a similar
bond with the same coupon rate and a face value equal to the amount of the
coupon payment that would have been made.

PREFERRED STOCKS are equity securities that generally pay dividends at a
specified rate and have preference over common stock in the payment of dividends
and liquidation. Preferred stock generally does not carry voting rights.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT) is an investment trust that operates through
the pooled capital of many investors who buy its shares. Investments are in
direct ownership of either income property or mortgage loans.


                                      B-2



RULE 144A SECURITIES are securities that are not registered for sale to the
general public under the 1933Act, but that may be resold to certain
institutional investors.

STANDBY COMMITMENT is a right to sell a specified underlying security or
securities within a specified period of time and at an exercise price equal to
the amortized cost of the underlying security or securities plus accrued
interest, if any, at the time of exercise, that may be sold, transferred, or
assigned only with the underlying security or securities. A standby commitment
entitles the holder to receive same day settlement, and will be considered to be
from the party to whom the investment company will look for payment of the
exercise price.

STEP COUPON BONDS are high-quality issues with above-market interest rates and a
coupon that increases over the life of the bond. They may pay monthly,
semiannual, or annual interest payments. On the date of each coupon payment, the
issuer decides whether to call the bond at par, or whether to extend it until
the next payment date at the new coupon rate.

STRIP BONDS are debt securities that are stripped of their interest (usually by
a financial intermediary) after the securities are issued. The market value of
these securities generally fluctuates more in response to changes in interest
rates than interest-paying securities of comparable maturity.

TENDER OPTION BONDS are relatively long-term bonds that are coupled with the
option to tender the securities to a bank, broker-dealer, or other financial
institution at periodic intervals and receive the face value of the bond. This
investment structure is commonly used as a means of enhancing a security's
liquidity.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES include direct obligations of the U.S. Government
that are supported by its full faith and credit. Treasury bills have initial
maturities of less than one year, Treasury notes have initial maturities of one
to ten years, and Treasury bonds may be issued with any maturity but generally
have maturities of at least ten years. U.S. Government securities also include
indirect obligations of the U.S. Government that are issued by federal agencies
and government sponsored entities. Unlike Treasury securities, agency securities
generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Some agency securities are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from
the Treasury, others are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S.
Government to purchase the agency's obligations, and others are supported only
by the credit of the sponsoring agency.

VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES have variable or floating rates of
interest and, under certain limited circumstances, may have varying principal
amounts. Variable and floating rate securities pay interest at rates that are
adjusted periodically according to a specified formula, usually with reference
to some interest rate index or market interest rate (the "underlying index").
The floating rate tends to decrease the security's price sensitivity to changes
in interest rates.

WARRANTS are securities, typically issued with preferred stock or bonds, which
give the holder the right to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a
specified price. The specified price is usually higher than the market price at
the time of issuance of the warrant. The right may last for a period of years or
indefinitely.

ZERO COUPON BONDS are debt securities that do not pay regular interest at
regular intervals, but are issued at a discount from face value. The discount
approximates the total amount of interest the security will accrue from the date
of issuance to maturity. The market value of these securities generally
fluctuates more in response to changes in interest rates than interest-paying
securities.

FUTURES, OPTIONS, AND OTHER DERIVATIVES

CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS are a specific kind of counterparty agreement that allows
the transfer of third party credit risk from one party to the other. One party
in the swap is a lender and faces credit risk from a third party, and the
counterparty in the credit default swap agrees to insure this risk in exchange
for regular periodic payments.

EQUITY-LINKED STRUCTURED NOTES are derivative securities which are specially
designed to combine the characteristics of one or more underlying securities and
their equity derivatives in a single note form. The return and/or yield or
income component may be based on the performance of the underlying equity
securities, an equity index, and/or option positions. Equity-linked structured
notes are typically offered in limited transactions by financial institutions in
either registered or non-registered form. An investment in equity-linked notes
creates exposure to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution, as
well as to the market risk of the underlying securities. There is no guaranteed
return of principal


                                      B-3



with these securities, and the appreciation potential of these securities may be
limited by a maximum payment or call right. In certain cases, equity-linked
notes may be more volatile and less liquid than less complex securities or other
types of fixed-income securities. Such securities may exhibit price behavior
that does not correlate with other fixed-income securities.

EQUITY SWAPS involve the exchange by two parties of future cash flow (e.g., one
cash flow based on a referenced interest rate and the other based on the
performance of stock or a stock index).

FORWARD CONTRACTS are contracts to purchase or sell a specified amount of a
financial instrument for an agreed upon price at a specified time. Forward
contracts are not currently exchange-traded and are typically negotiated on an
individual basis. A Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for
investment purposes or to hedge against declines in the value of securities
denominated in, or whose value is tied to, a currency other than the U.S. dollar
or to reduce the impact of currency appreciation on purchases of such
securities. It may also enter into forward contracts to purchase or sell
securities or other financial indices.

FUTURES CONTRACTS are contracts that obligate the buyer to receive and the
seller to deliver an instrument or money at a specified price on a specified
date. A Fund may buy and sell futures contracts on foreign currencies,
securities, and financial indices including indices of U.S. Government, foreign
government, equity, or fixed-income securities. A Fund may also buy options on
futures contracts. An option on a futures contract gives the buyer the right,
but not the obligation, to buy or sell a futures contract at a specified price
on or before a specified date. Futures contracts and options on futures are
standardized and traded on designated exchanges.

INDEXED/STRUCTURED SECURITIES are typically short- to intermediate-term debt
securities whose value at maturity or interest rate is linked to currencies,
interest rates, equity securities, indices, commodity prices, or other financial
indicators. Such securities may be positively or negatively indexed (e.g., their
value may increase or decrease if the reference index or instrument
appreciates). Indexed/structured securities may have return characteristics
similar to direct investments in the underlying instruments and may be more
volatile than the underlying instruments. A Fund bears the market risk of an
investment in the underlying instruments, as well as the credit risk of the
issuer.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS involve the exchange by two parties of their respective
commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate
payments for fixed rate payments).

INVERSE FLOATERS are debt instruments whose interest rate bears an inverse
relationship to the interest rate on another instrument or index. For example,
upon reset, the interest rate payable on the inverse floater may go down when
the underlying index has risen. Certain inverse floaters may have an interest
rate reset mechanism that multiplies the effects of change in the underlying
index. Such mechanism may increase the volatility of the security's market
value.

OPTIONS are the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified amount
of securities or other assets on or before a fixed date at a predetermined
price. A Fund may purchase and write put and call options on securities,
securities indices, and foreign currencies. A Fund may purchase or write such
options individually or in combination.

PARTICIPATORY NOTES are derivative securities which are linked to the
performance of an underlying Indian security and which allow investors to gain
market exposure to Indian securities without trading directly in the local
Indian market.

TOTAL RETURN SWAPS involve an exchange by two parties in which one party makes
payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party
makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both
the income it generates and any capital gains over the payment period.

OTHER INVESTMENTS, STRATEGIES, AND/OR TECHNIQUES

CASH SWEEP PROGRAM is an arrangement in which a Fund's uninvested cash balance
is used to purchase shares of affiliated or non-affiliated money market funds or
cash management pooled investment vehicles at the end of each day.

INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION for purposes under the 1940 Act is the investment of more
than 25% of a Fund's total assets in an industry or group of industries.


                                      B-4



MARKET CAPITALIZATION is the most commonly used measure of the size and value of
a company. It is computed by multiplying the current market price of a share of
the company's stock by the total number of its shares outstanding. Market
capitalization is an important investment criterion for certain funds, while
others do not emphasize investments in companies of any particular size.

NONDIVERSIFICATION is a classification given to a fund under the 1940 Act. Funds
are classified as either "diversified" or "nondiversified." To be classified as
"diversified" under the 1940 Act, a fund may not, with respect to 75% of its
total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in any issuer and may not
own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of an issuer. A fund that
is classified under the 1940 Act as "nondiversified," on the other hand, is not
subject to the same restrictions and therefore has the flexibility to take
larger positions in a smaller number of issuers than a fund that is classified
as "diversified." This gives a "nondiversified" fund more flexibility to focus
its investments in companies that the portfolio managers and/or investment
personnel have identified as the most attractive for the investment objective
and strategy of a fund but also may increase the risk of a fund.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve the purchase of a security by a Fund and a
simultaneous agreement by the seller (generally a bank or dealer) to repurchase
the security from the Fund at a specified date or upon demand. This technique
offers a method of earning income on idle cash. These securities involve the
risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that
case, a Fund will bear the risk of market value fluctuations until the security
can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the
security.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS involve the sale of a security by a Fund to
another party (generally a bank or dealer) in return for cash and an agreement
by the Fund to buy the security back at a specified price and time. This
technique will be used primarily to provide cash to satisfy unusually high
redemption requests, or for other temporary or emergency purposes.

SHORT SALES in which a Fund may engage may be either "short sales against the
box" or other short sales. Short sales against the box involve selling short a
security that a Fund owns, or the Fund has the right to obtain the amount of the
security sold short at a specified date in the future. A Fund may also enter
into a short sale to hedge against anticipated declines in the market price of a
security or to reduce portfolio volatility. If the value of a security sold
short increases prior to the scheduled delivery date, the Fund loses the
opportunity to participate in the gain. For short sales, the Fund will incur a
loss if the value of a security increases during this period because it will be
paying more for the security than it has received from the purchaser in the
short sale. If the price declines during this period, a Fund will realize a
short-term capital gain. Although a Fund's potential for gain as a result of a
short sale is limited to the price at which it sold the security short less the
cost of borrowing the security, its potential for loss is theoretically
unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed
security.

WHEN-ISSUED, DELAYED DELIVERY, AND FORWARD COMMITMENT TRANSACTIONS generally
involve the purchase of a security with payment and delivery at some time in the
future - i.e., beyond normal settlement. A Fund does not earn interest on such
securities until settlement and bears the risk of market value fluctuations in
between the purchase and settlement dates. New issues of stocks and bonds,
private placements, and U.S. Government securities may be sold in this manner.


                                      B-5



                                                                      APPENDIX C

                               SHAREHOLDER'S GUIDE

This Prospectus/Information Statement relates to five separate classes of shares
("Shares"): Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S of Janus High-Yield
Fund (the "JIF High-Yield Fund"), a series of Janus Investment Fund (the
"Trust"). JIF High-Yield Fund currently does not offer shares of any of these
classes. However, upon consummation of the reorganization of Janus Adviser
High-Yield Fund with and into JIF High-Yield Fund (the "Reorganization"), JIF
High-Yield Fund will complete the registration of Shares of these classes
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, and start offering these shares. JIF High-Yield Fund
currently only offers one class of shares (the "Initial Class") which is not
offered in this Prospectus/Information Statement. Please refer to JIF High-Yield
Fund's prospectus dated February 27, 2009 (the "JIF High-Yield Fund's
Prospectus") for information about shares of this Initial Class. You can obtain
a free copy of that document by contacting your broker-dealer, plan sponsor, or
financial intermediary or by calling a Janus representative at 1-877-335-2687.
The information below relates to classes of JIF High-Yield Fund as of the date
they are created.

PURCHASE PROCEDURES, EXCHANGE RIGHTS, AND REDEMPTION PROCEDURES

Investors may not purchase, exchange, or redeem Class A, Class C, Class R and
Class S Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund directly. Shares may be purchased,
exchanged, or redeemed only through retirement plans, broker-dealers, bank trust
departments, financial advisers, or other financial intermediaries. Class A and
Class C Shares made available through full service broker-dealers are primarily
available only through wrap accounts under which such broker-dealers impose
additional fees for services connected to the wrap account. Class S Shares are
only available to broker-dealers in connection with their customers' investment
in the Shares through (1) retirement plans and (2) asset allocation, wrap fee,
fee-in-lieu of commission, or other discretionary or nondiscretionary investment
advisory programs under which such broker-dealers charge asset-based fees. Not
all financial intermediaries offer all classes of shares. CONTACT YOUR FINANCIAL
INTERMEDIARY OR REFER TO YOUR PLAN DOCUMENTS FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO
PURCHASE, EXCHANGE, OR REDEEM SHARES.

Class I Shares may generally be purchased, exchanged, or redeemed only through
the following types of financial intermediaries and by certain institutional
investors. Class I Shares are offered through financial intermediaries
(including, but not limited to, broker-dealers, retirement plans, bank trust
departments, and financial advisors) who do not require payment from JIF
High-Yield Fund or its service providers for the provision of distribution or
shareholder retention services, except for administrative (networking, omnibus
positioning) fees. Administrative (networking, omnibus positioning) fees may be
paid by JIF High-Yield Fund to financial intermediaries for Class I Shares
processed through certain securities clearing systems. Institutional investors
may include, but are not limited to, corporations, retirement plans, public
plans, and foundations/endowments. Class I Shares are not offered directly to
individual investors. Not all financial intermediaries offer all classes of
shares. FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PURCHASE, EXCHANGE, OR REDEEM SHARES, CONTACT
YOUR FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY, A JANUS REPRESENTATIVE AT [1-800-333-1181], OR
REFER TO YOUR PLAN DOCUMENTS.

With certain limited exceptions, JIF High-Yield Fund is available only to U.S.
citizens or residents.

PRICING OF JIF HIGH-YIELD FUND SHARES

The per share net asset value ("NAV") for each class is computed by dividing the
total value of assets allocated to the class, less liabilities allocated to that
class, by the total number of outstanding shares of the class. JIF High-Yield
Fund's NAV is calculated as of the close of the regular trading session of the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (normally 4:00 p.m. New York time) each day
that the NYSE is open ("business day"). However, the NAV may be calculated
earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
Because foreign securities markets may operate on days that are not business
days in the United States, the value of JIF High-Yield Fund's holdings may
change on days that are not business days in the United States and on which you
will not be able to purchase or redeem JIF High-Yield Fund's Shares.

The price you pay for purchases of Class A Shares and Class C Shares is the
public offering price, which is the NAV next determined after your order is
received in good order by JIF High-Yield Fund or its agent, plus, for Class A
Shares, any applicable initial sales charge. The price you pay to sell Class A
Shares and Class C Shares is also the NAV, although a contingent deferred sales
charge may be taken out of the proceeds. All purchases and redemptions of Class
I


                                      C-1



Shares, Class R Shares and Class S Shares will be duly processed at the NAV next
calculated after your request is received in good order by JIF High-Yield Fund
or its agent. Your financial intermediary may charge you a separate or
additional fee for processing purchases and redemptions of Shares. In order to
receive a day's price, your order must be received in good order by JIF
High-Yield Fund or its agent by the close of the regular trading session of the
NYSE.

Securities held by JIF High-Yield Fund are generally valued at market value.
Certain short-term instruments maturing within 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value. If a market quotation for a
security is not readily available or is deemed unreliable, or if an event that
is expected to affect the value of the security occurs after the close of the
principal exchange or market on which the security is traded, and before the
close of the NYSE, a fair value of the security (except for short-term
instruments maturing within 60 days or less) will be determined in good faith
under policies and procedures established by and under the supervision of JIF
High-Yield Fund's Board of Trustees. Such events include, but are not limited
to: (i) a significant event that may affect the securities of a single issuer,
such as a merger, bankruptcy, or significant issuer-specific development; (ii)
an event that may affect an entire market, such as a natural disaster or
significant governmental action; and (iii) a non-significant event such as a
market closing early or not opening, or a security trading halt. JIF High-Yield
Fund may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent
pricing service to value foreign equity securities in order to adjust for stale
pricing, which may occur between the close of certain foreign exchanges and the
close of the NYSE. While fair value pricing may be more commonly used with
foreign equity securities, it may also be used with, among other things,
thinly-traded domestic securities or fixed-income securities.

Due to the subjective nature of fair value pricing, JIF High-Yield Fund's value
for a particular security may be different from the last quoted market price.
Fair value pricing may reduce arbitrage activity involving the frequent buying
and selling of mutual fund shares by investors seeking to take advantage of a
perceived lag between a change in the value of JIF High-Yield Fund's portfolio
securities and the reflection of such change in JIF High-Yield Fund's NAV, as
further described in the "Excessive Trading" section in this Appendix C. While
funds that invest in foreign securities may be at a greater risk for arbitrage
activity, such activity may also arise in funds which do not invest in foreign
securities, for example, when trading in a security held by a fund is halted and
does not resume prior to the time the fund calculates its NAV (referred to as
"stale pricing"). Funds that hold thinly-traded securities, such as certain
small-capitalization securities, may be subject to attempted use of arbitrage
techniques. To the extent that JIF High-Yield Fund's valuation of a security is
different from the security's market value, short-term arbitrage traders may
dilute the NAV of JIF High-Yield Fund, which negatively impacts long-term
shareholders. JIF High-Yield Fund's fair value pricing and excessive trading
policies and procedures may not completely eliminate short-term trading in
certain omnibus accounts and other accounts traded through intermediaries.

The value of the securities of other open-end funds held by JIF High-Yield Fund,
if any, will be calculated using the NAV of such underlying funds, and the
prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they
use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

If you hold Class I Shares in an account through a financial intermediary or
plan sponsor or if you hold Shares of Class A, Class C, Class R or Class S, all
purchases, exchanges, redemptions, or other account activity must be processed
through your financial intermediary or plan sponsor. Your financial intermediary
or plan sponsor is responsible for promptly transmitting purchase, redemption,
and other requests to JIF High-Yield Fund under the arrangements made between
your financial intermediary or plan sponsor and its customers. JIF High-Yield
Fund is not responsible for the failure of any financial intermediary or plan
sponsor to carry out its obligations to its customers.

CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS

As noted above, upon the closing of the Reorganization, and subject to certain
contingencies, JIF High-Yield Fund will start offering shares of Class A, Class
C, Class I, Class R and Class S. Each class represents an interest in the same
portfolio of investments, but has different charges and expenses, allowing you
to choose the class that best meets your needs. When choosing a share class, you
should consider:

     -    how much you plan to invest;

     -    how long you expect to own the shares;

     -    the expenses paid by each class; and


                                      C-2



     -    whether you qualify for any reduction or waiver of any sales charges.

You should also consult your financial intermediary about which class is most
suitable for you. The following table summarizes some of the factors you should
consider with respect to each class of shares.*

     detailed description in the sections below. Your financial intermediary may
     charge you a separate or additional fee for purchases and redemptions of
     Shares.

(1)  The initial sales charge is reduced for purchases of $50,000 or more and is
     waived for purchases of $1 million or more.

(2)  May also be waived under certain circumstances.

(3)  Redemption Fee applies to Shares held for 90 days or less (as a % of amount
     redeemed). The redemption fee may be waived in certain circumstances as
     described the section titled "Redemption Fee" below. An exchange of Class
     I, Class R or Class S Shares from JIF High-Yield Fund held for 90 days or
     less may be subject to JIF High-Yield Fund's 2.00% redemption fee.

(4)  Investors in a defined contribution plan through a third party
     administrator should refer to their plan document or contact their plan
     administrator for information regarding account minimums.

(5)  Up to 0.75% distribution fee and up to 0.25% shareholder servicing fee.

DISTRIBUTION, SERVICING, AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLANS

Under distribution and shareholder servicing plans adopted in accordance with
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A Shares and Class C Shares (the "Class
A Plan" and "Class C Plan," respectively), JIF High-Yield Fund may pay Janus
Distributors LLC, the Trust's distributor ("Janus Distributors"), a fee for the
sale and distribution of Class A Shares and Class C Shares at an annual rate up
to 0.25% and 1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class A Shares and Class C
Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund, respectively. Under the Class A and the Class C
Plans, Janus Distributors may pay all or a portion of 12b-1 fees to retirement
plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial
advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution
and shareholder account services performed by such entities for their customers
who are investors in JIF High-Yield Fund.


                                      C-3



Under a distribution and shareholder servicing plan adopted in accordance with
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class R Shares and Class S Shares (the "Class
R Plan" and "Class S Plan," respectively), JIF High-Yield Fund may pay Janus
Distributors a fee for the sale and distribution of Class R Shares and Class S
Shares at an annual rate of up to 0.50% and 0.25% of the average daily net
assets of Class R Shares and Class S Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund,
respectively. Under the terms of the Class R and Class S Plans, the Trust is
authorized to make payments to Janus Distributors for remittance to retirement
plan service providers, broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial
advisors, and other financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution
and shareholder account services performed by such entities for their customers
who are investors in JIF High-Yield Fund.

Financial intermediaries may from time to time be required to meet certain
criteria in order to receive 12b-1 fees. Janus Distributors is entitled to
retain all fees paid under the Class C Plan for the first 12 months on any
investment in Class C Shares to recoup its expenses with respect to the payment
of commissions on sales of Class C Shares. Financial intermediaries will become
eligible for compensation under the Class C Plan beginning in the 13th month
following the purchase of Class C Shares, although Janus Distributors may,
pursuant to a written agreement between Janus Distributors and a particular
financial intermediary, pay such financial intermediary 12b-1 fees prior to the
13th month following the purchase of Class C Shares. Janus Distributors is
entitled to retain some or all fees payable under the Class A, Class C, Class R
and Class S Plans in certain circumstances, including when there is no broker of
record or when certain qualification standards have not been met by the broker
of record. Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of JIF High-Yield Fund's assets on an
ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may
cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

ADMINISTRATIVE FEES - CLASS A, CLASS C AND CLASS I SHARES

Certain intermediaries may charge fees for administrative services, including
recordkeeping, subaccounting, order processing for omnibus or networked
accounts, or other shareholder services provided by intermediaries on behalf of
the shareholders of JIF High-Yield Fund. Order processing includes the
submission of transactions through the National Securities Clearing Corporation
(NSCC) or similar systems, or those processed on a manual basis with Janus.
These administrative fees are paid by the Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund to Janus
Services LLC ("Janus Services"), which uses such fees to reimburse
intermediaries. Because the form and amount charged varies by intermediary, the
amount of the administrative fee borne by each shareholder of the class is an
average of all fees charged by intermediaries. In the event an intermediary
receiving payments from Janus Services on behalf of JIF High-Yield Fund converts
from a networking structure to an omnibus account structure, or otherwise
experiences increased costs, fees borne by the Shares may increase.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES FEE - CLASS R AND CLASS S SHARES

Janus Services, the Trust's transfer agent, receives an administrative services
fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R
Shares and Class S Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund for providing, or arranging for
the provision of, recordkeeping, subaccounting, and other administrative
services to investors. Janus Services expects to use all or a significant
portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers,
broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial
intermediaries for providing these services to their customers who invest in JIF
High-Yield Fund.

PURCHASES

Purchases of Class A, Class C, Class R or Class S Shares may generally be made

Capital"), JIF High-Yield Fund's investment adviser, and its affiliates may make
payments to brokerage firms or other financial intermediaries that were
instrumental in the acquisition or retention of shareholders for JIF High-Yield
Fund or that provide services in connection with investments in JIF High-Yield
Fund. You should consider such arrangements when evaluating any recommendation
of JIF High-Yield Fund.

JIF High-Yield Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order, including
exchange purchases, for any reason. JIF High-Yield Fund is not intended for

In compliance with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 ("USA
PATRIOT Act"), your financial intermediary is required to verify certain
information on your account application as part of its Anti-Money Laundering
Program. You will be required to provide your full name, date of birth, social
security number, and permanent street address to assist in verifying your
identity. You may also be asked to provide documents that may help to establish
your identity. Until verification of your identity is made, your financial
intermediary may temporarily limit additional share purchases. In addition, your
financial intermediary may close an account if they are unable to verify a
shareholder's identity. Please contact your financial intermediary if you need
additional assistance when completing your application or additional information
about the intermediary's Anti-Money Laundering Program.

MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS

The minimum investment for Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class S Shares is
$2,500 per JIF High-Yield Fund account for non-retirement accounts and $500 per
JIF High-Yield Fund account for certain tax-deferred accounts or UGMA/UTMA
accounts. Investors in a defined contribution plan through a third party
administrator should refer to their plan document or contact their plan
administrator for additional information. In addition, accounts held through
certain wrap programs may not be subject to these minimums. Investors should
refer to their intermediary for additional information.

The minimum investment for Class I Shares is $1 million for institutional
investors. Institutional investors generally may meet the minimum investment
amount by aggregating multiple accounts within JIF High-Yield Fund. Accounts
offered through an intermediary institution must meet the minimum investment
requirements of $500 for tax-deferred accounts and $2,500 for other account
types. Directors, officers, and employees of Janus Capital Group Inc. ("JCGI")
and its affiliates, as well as Trustees and officers of JIF High-Yield Fund, may
purchase Class I Shares through certain financial intermediaries' institutional
platforms. For more information about this program and eligibility requirements,
please contact a Janus representative at [1-800-333-1181]. Exceptions to these
minimums may apply for certain tax-deferred, tax-qualified and retirement plans,
and accounts held through certain wrap programs. For additional information,
contact your intermediary, plan sponsor, administrator, or a Janus
representative, as applicable.

With respect to Class R Shares, investors in a defined contribution plan through
a third party administrator should refer to their plan document or contact their
plan administrator for information regarding account minimums. For all other
account types, the minimum investment is $2,500.

JIF High-Yield Fund reserves the right to annually request that intermediaries
close JIF High-Yield Fund accounts that are valued at less than $100, other than
as a result solely of depreciation in share value. Certain accounts held through
intermediaries may not be subject to closure due to the policies of the
intermediaries. You may receive written notice from your intermediary to
increase your account balance to the required minimum to avoid having your
account closed. If you hold Class I Shares directly with JIF High-Yield Fund,
you may receive written notice prior to the closure of your JIF High-Yield Fund
account so that you may increase your account balance to the required minimum.
Please note that you may incur a tax liability as a result of a redemption.

The maximum purchase in Class C Shares is $500,000 for any single purchase.
There is no limitation on maximum purchase of Class A, Class I, Class R and
Class S Shares.

JIF High-Yield Fund reserves the right to change the amount of these minimums or
maximums from time to time or to waive them in whole or in part.

SYSTEMATIC PURCHASE PLAN


                                      C-5



You may arrange for periodic purchases by authorizing your financial
intermediary (or a Janus representative, if you are a holder of Class I Shares
and you hold Class I Shares directly with JIF High-Yield Fund) to withdraw the
amount of your investment from your bank account on a day or days you specify.
Not all financial intermediaries offer this plan. Contact your financial
intermediary for details.

CLASS A SHARES SALES CHARGE

An initial sales charge may apply to your purchase of Class A Shares of JIF
High-Yield Fund based on the amount invested, as set forth in the table below.
The sales charge is allocated between Janus Distributors and your financial
intermediary. Sales charges, as expressed as a percentage of offering price and
as a percentage of your net investment, are shown in the table. The dollar
amount of your initial sales charge is calculated as the difference between the
public offering price and the net asset value of those shares. Since the
offering price is calculated to two decimal places using standard rounding
criteria, the number of shares purchased and the dollar amount of your sales
charge as a percentage of the offering price and of your net investment may be
higher or lower than the amounts set forth in the table depending on whether
there was a downward or upward rounding.

(2)  Compared to Class C Shares, the sales charge and expense structure of Class
     A Shares may be more advantageous for investors purchasing more than
     $500,000 of JIF High-Yield Fund shares.

(3)  A deferred sales charge of 1.00% may apply to Class A Shares purchased
     without an initial sales charge if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

Janus Distributors may pay financial intermediaries commissions on purchases of
Class A Shares as follows:

     -    1.00% on amounts from $1,000,000 to $4,000,000;

     -    plus 0.50% on amounts greater than $4,000,000 to $10,000,000;

     -    plus 0.25% on amounts over $10,000,000.

The purchase totals eligible for these commissions are aggregated on a rolling
one year basis so that the rate payable resets to the highest rate annually.

QUALIFYING FOR A REDUCTION OR WAIVER OF CLASS A SHARES SALES CHARGE

You may be able to lower your Class A Shares sales charge under certain
circumstances. For example, you can combine Class A Shares and Class C Shares
you already own (either in this JIF High-Yield Fund or certain other Janus
funds) with your current purchase of Class A Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund and
certain other Janus funds (including Class C Shares of those funds) to take
advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule as set forth above.
Certain circumstances under which you may combine such ownership of Shares and
purchases are described below. Contact your financial intermediary for more
information.


                                      C-6



Class A Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund may be purchased without an initial sales
charge by the following persons (and their spouses and children under 21 years
of age): (i) registered representatives and other employees of intermediaries
that have selling agreements with Janus Distributors to sell Class A Shares;
(ii) directors, officers, and employees of JCGI and its affiliates; and (iii)
trustees and officers of the Trust. In addition, the initial sales charge may be
waived on purchases of Class A Shares through financial intermediaries that have
entered into an agreement with Janus Distributors that allows the waiver of the
sales charge.

In order to obtain a sales charge discount, you should inform your financial
intermediary of other accounts in which there are JIF High-Yield Fund holdings
eligible to be aggregated to meet a sales charge breakpoint. These other
accounts may include the accounts described under "Aggregating Accounts" below.
You may need to provide documents such as account statements or confirmation
statements to prove that the accounts are eligible for aggregation. The Letter
of Intent described below requires historical cost information in certain
circumstances. You should retain records necessary to show the price you paid to
purchase JIF High-Yield Fund shares, as JIF High-Yield Fund, its agents, or your
financial intermediary may not retain this information.

RIGHT OF ACCUMULATION. You may purchase Class A Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund at
a reduced sales charge determined by aggregating the dollar amount of the new
purchase (measured by the offering price) and the total prior day's net asset
value (net amount invested) of all Class A Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund and of
certain other classes (Class A Shares and Class C Shares of the Trust) of Janus
funds then held by you, or held in accounts identified under "Aggregating
Accounts" below, and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate
amount. In order for your purchases and holdings to be aggregated for purposes
of qualifying for such discount, they must have been made through one financial
intermediary and you must provide sufficient information to your financial
intermediary at the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase
qualifies for the reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to
modification or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased
thereafter.

LETTER OF INTENT. You may obtain a reduced sales charge on Class A Shares by
signing a Letter of Intent indicating your intention to purchase $50,000 or more
of Class A Shares (including Class A Shares in other series of the Trust) over a
13-month period. The term of the Letter of Intent will commence upon the date
you sign the Letter of Intent. You must refer to such Letter when placing
orders. With regard to a Letter of Intent, the amount of investment for purposes
of applying the sales load schedule includes (i) the historical cost (what you
actually paid for the shares at the time of purchase, including any sales
charges) of all Class A Shares acquired during the term of the Letter of Intent,
minus (ii) the value of any redemptions of Class A Shares made during the term
of the Letter of Intent. Each investment made during the period receives the
reduced sales charge applicable to the total amount of the investment goal. A
portion of shares purchased may be held in escrow to pay for any sales charge
that may be applicable. If the goal is not achieved within the period, you must
pay the difference between the sales charges applicable to the purchases made
and the charges previously paid, or an appropriate number of escrowed shares
will be redeemed. Please contact your financial intermediary to obtain a Letter
of Intent application.

AGGREGATING ACCOUNTS. To take advantage of lower Class A Shares sales charges on
large purchases or through the exercise of a Letter of Intent or right of
accumulation, investments made by you, your spouse, and your children under age
21 may be aggregated if made for your own account(s) and/or certain other
accounts such as:

     -    trust accounts established by the above individuals (or the accounts
          of the primary beneficiary of the trust if the person who established
          the trust is deceased);

     -    solely controlled business accounts; and

     -    single participant retirement plans.

To receive a reduced sales charge under rights of accumulation or a Letter of
Intent, you must notify your financial intermediary of any eligible accounts
that you, your spouse, and your children under age 21 have at the time of your
purchase.

You may access information regarding sales loads, breakpoint discounts, and
purchases of JIF High-Yield Fund's shares, free of charge, and in a clear and
prominent format, at www.janus.com/breakpoints, and by following the appropriate
hyperlinks to the specific information.


                                      C-7



COMMISSION ON CLASS C SHARES

Janus Distributors may compensate your financial intermediary at the time of
sale at a commission rate of 1.00% of the net asset value of the Class C Shares
purchased. Service providers to qualified plans will not receive this amount if
they receive 12b-1 fees from the time of initial investment of qualified plan
assets in Class C Shares.

EXCHANGES

Contact your financial intermediary or consult your plan documents to exchange
into other funds in the Trust. Be sure to read the prospectus of the fund into
which you are exchanging. An exchange is generally a taxable transaction (except
for certain tax-deferred accounts).

     -    You may generally exchange shares of JIF High-Yield Fund for shares of
          the same class of any other fund in the Trust offered through your
          financial intermediary or qualified plan.

     -    You must meet the minimum investment amount for each fund.

     -    JIF High-Yield Fund reserves the right to reject any exchange request
          and to modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time.

     -    The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term or
          excessive trading. JIF High-Yield Fund may suspend or terminate your
          exchange privilege if you engage in an excessive pattern of exchanges.

     -    With respect to exchange of Class I Shares, accounts holding Class I
          Shares directly with JIF High-Yield Fund may make up to four round
          trips in JIF High-Yield Fund in a 12-month period, although JIF
          High-Yield Fund at all times reserves the right to reject any exchange
          purchase for any reason without prior notice. Generally, a "round
          trip" is a redemption out of JIF High-Yield Fund (by any means)
          followed by a purchase back into JIF High-Yield Fund (by any means).
          JIF High-Yield Fund will work with intermediaries to apply JIF
          High-Yield Fund's exchange limit. However, JIF High-Yield Fund may not
          always have the ability to monitor or enforce the trading activity in
          such accounts.

     -    For more information about JIF High-Yield Fund's policy on excessive
          trading, refer to the "Excessive Trading" section in this Appendix C.

WAIVER OF SALES CHARGES

Class A Shares received through an exchange of Class A Shares of another fund of
the Trust will not be subject to any initial sales charge of JIF High-Yield
Fund's Class A Shares. Class A Shares or Class C Shares received through an
exchange of Class A Shares or Class C Shares, respectively, of another fund of
the Trust will not be subject to any applicable contingent deferred sales charge
("CDSC") at the time of the exchange. Any CDSC applicable to redemptions of
Class A Shares or Class C Shares will continue to be measured on the Shares
received by exchange from the date of your original purchase. For more
information about the CDSC, please refer to "Redemptions." While Class C Shares
do not have any front-end sales charges, their higher annual operating expenses
mean that over time, you could end up paying more than the equivalent of the
maximum allowable front-end sales charge.

REDEMPTIONS

Redemptions, like purchases, of Class A, Class C, Class R and Class S Shares may
generally be effected only through retirement plans, broker-dealers, and
financial intermediaries. Please contact your financial intermediary or refer to
the appropriate plan documents for details.

Redemptions, like purchases, of Class I Shares may generally be effected only
through financial intermediaries and by certain institutional investors. Please
contact your financial intermediary, a Janus representative ([1-800-333-1181]),
or refer to the appropriate plan documents for details.

Your financial intermediary may charge a processing or service fee in connection
with the redemption of Shares.

Shares of JIF High-Yield Fund may be redeemed on any business day on which JIF
High-Yield Fund's NAV is calculated. Redemptions are duly processed at the NAV
next calculated after your redemption order is received in good order by JIF
High-Yield Fund or its agent. Redemption proceeds, less any applicable CDSC for
Class A Shares and Class C Shares, or less any applicable redemption fee for
Class I, Class R and Class S Shares, will normally be sent the business day
following receipt of the redemption order, but in no event later than seven days
after receipt of such order.


                                      C-8



If you hold Class A, Class C, Class I or Class S Shares, you should note that
JIF High-Yield Fund reserves the right to annually request that intermediaries
close JIF High-Yield Fund accounts that are valued at less than $100, other than
as a result solely of depreciation in share value. Certain accounts held through
intermediaries may not be subject to closure due to the policies of the
intermediaries. You may receive written notice from your intermediary to
increase your account balance to the required minimum to avoid having your
account closed. In addition, if you hold Class I Shares directly with JIF
High-Yield Fund, you may receive written notice prior to the closure of your JIF
High-Yield Fund account so that you may increase your account balance to the
required minimum. Please note that you may incur a tax liability as a result of
a redemption.

REDEMPTIONS IN-KIND

Shares normally will be redeemed for cash, although JIF High-Yield Fund retains
the right to redeem some or all of its shares in-kind under unusual
circumstances, in order to protect the interests of remaining shareholders or to
accommodate a request by a particular shareholder that does not adversely affect
the interest of the remaining shareholders, by delivery of securities selected
from its assets at its discretion. However, JIF High-Yield Fund is required to
redeem shares solely for cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the NAV of
JIF High-Yield Fund during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. Should
redemptions by any shareholder exceed such limitation, JIF High-Yield Fund will
have the option of redeeming the excess in cash or in-kind. In-kind payment
means payment will be made in portfolio securities rather than cash. If this
occurs, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other transaction
costs to convert the securities to cash.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN

You may arrange for periodic redemptions of Class A Shares or Class C Shares by
authorizing your financial intermediary to redeem a specified amount from your
account on a day or days you specify. Any resulting CDSC may be waived through
financial intermediaries that have entered into an agreement with Janus
Distributors. The maximum annual rate at which shares subject to a CDSC may be
redeemed, pursuant to a systematic withdrawal plan, without paying a CDSC, is
12% of the net asset value of the account. Certain other terms and minimums may
apply. Not all financial intermediaries offer this plan. Contact your financial
intermediary for details.

You may arrange for periodic redemptions of Class I Shares by authorizing your
financial intermediary (or a Janus representative, if you hold Shares directly
with JIF High-Yield Fund) to redeem a specified amount from your account on a
day or days you specify. Not all financial intermediaries offer this plan.
Contact your financial intermediary or a Janus representative for details.

You may arrange for periodic redemptions of Class R Shares or Class S Shares by
authorizing your financial intermediary to redeem a specified amount from your
account on a day or days you specify. Not all financial intermediaries offer
this plan. Contact your financial intermediary for details.

CLASS A SHARES AND CLASS C SHARES CDSC

A 1.00% CDSC may be deducted with respect to Class A Shares purchased without an
initial sales charge if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless any of the
CDSC waivers listed below apply. A 1.00% CDSC will be deducted with respect to
Class C Shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless a CDSC waiver
applies. The CDSC will be based on the lower of the original purchase price or
the value of the redemption of the Class A Shares or Class C Shares redeemed, as
applicable.

CDSC WAIVERS

There are certain cases in which you may be exempt from a CDSC charged to Class
A Shares and Class C Shares. Among others, these include:

     -    Upon the death or disability of an account owner;

     -    Retirement plans and certain other accounts held through a financial
          intermediary that has entered into an agreement with Janus
          Distributors to waive CDSCs for such accounts;

     -    Retirement plan shareholders taking required minimum distributions;

     -    The redemption of Class A Shares or Class C Shares acquired through
          reinvestment of JIF High-Yield Fund dividends or distributions;


                                      C-9



     -    The portion of the redemption representing appreciation as a result of
          an increase in NAV above the total amount of payments for Class A
          Shares or Class C Shares during the period during which the CDSC
          applied; or

     -    If JIF High-Yield Fund chooses to liquidate or involuntarily redeem
          shares in your account.

To keep the CDSC as low as possible, Class A Shares or Class C Shares not
subject to any CDSC will be redeemed first, followed by shares held longest.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE - CLASS A SHARES

After you have redeemed Class A Shares, you have a one-time right to reinvest
the proceeds within 90 days of the redemption date at the current NAV (without
an initial sales charge). You will not be reimbursed for any CDSC paid on your
redemption of Class A Shares.

REDEMPTION FEE - CLASS I, CLASS R AND CLASS S SHARES

Redemptions (and exchanges) of Class I, Class R and Class S Shares from JIF
High-Yield Fund held for 90 days or less may be subject to JIF High-Yield Fund's
redemption fee. The redemption fee is 2.00% of a shareholder's redemption
proceeds. This fee is paid to JIF High-Yield Fund rather than Janus Capital, and
is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset the brokerage
commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with changes in JIF
High-Yield Fund's asset level and cash flow due to short-term money movements in
and out of JIF High-Yield Fund.

Certain intermediaries have agreed to charge JIF High-Yield Fund's redemption
fee on their customers' accounts. In this case, the amount of the fee and the
holding period will generally be consistent with JIF High-Yield Fund's. However,
due to operational requirements, the intermediaries' methods for tracking and
calculating the fee may differ in some respects from JIF High-Yield Fund's.

The redemption fee does not apply to certain types of accounts held through
intermediaries, including: (i) certain employer-sponsored retirement plans; (ii)
certain broker wrap fee and other fee-based programs; (iii) certain omnibus
accounts where the omnibus account holder does not have the operational
capability to impose a redemption fee on its underlying customers' accounts; and
(iv) certain intermediaries that do not have or report to JIF High-Yield Fund
sufficient information to impose a redemption fee on their customers' accounts.

In addition, the redemption fee does not apply to: (i) premature distributions
from retirement accounts that are exempt from IRS penalty due to the disability
of or medical expenses incurred by the shareholder; (ii) required minimum
distributions from retirement accounts; (iii) return of excess contributions in
retirement accounts; (iv) redemptions resulting in the settlement of an estate
due to the death of the shareholder; (v) redemptions by participants of an
employer-sponsored automatic enrollment 401(k) plan who properly elect a refund
of contributions within 90 days of being automatically enrolled in such plan;
(vi) involuntary redemptions imposed by Janus Capital; and (vii) reinvested
distributions (dividends and capital gains). When cooperation from a financial
intermediary is necessary to impose a redemption fee on its customers' accounts,
different or additional exemptions may be applied by the financial intermediary.

Redemption fees may be waived under certain circumstances involving involuntary
redemptions imposed by intermediaries. Contact your financial intermediary (or a
Janus representative ([1-800-333-1181]), if you are a holder of Class I Shares
and you hold Class I Shares directly with JIF High-Yield Fund), or refer to your
plan documents for more information on whether the redemption fee is applied to
your shares.

In addition to the circumstances previously noted, JIF High-Yield Fund reserves
the right to waive the redemption fee at its discretion where it believes such
waiver is in the best interests of JIF High-Yield Fund, including but not
limited to when it determines that imposition of the redemption fee is not
necessary to protect JIF High-Yield Fund from the effects of short-term trading.
In addition, JIF High-Yield Fund reserves the right to modify or eliminate the
redemption fee or waivers at any time. If there is a material change to JIF
High-Yield Fund's redemption fee, JIF High-Yield Fund will notify you at least
60 days prior to the effective date of the change.

EXCESSIVE TRADING

EXCESSIVE TRADING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES


                                      C-10



The Board of Trustees of JIF High-Yield Fund has adopted policies and procedures
with respect to short-term and excessive trading of Fund shares ("excessive
trading"). JIF High-Yield Fund is intended for long-term investment purposes
only, and the Fund will take reasonable steps to attempt to detect and deter
excessive trading. Transactions placed in violation of JIF High-Yield Fund's
excessive trading policies may be cancelled or revoked by the Fund by the next
business day following receipt by the Fund. The trading history of accounts
determined to be under common ownership or control within any of the Janus funds
may be considered in enforcing these policies and procedures. As described
below, however, JIF High-Yield Fund may not be able to identify all instances of
excessive trading or completely eliminate the possibility of excessive trading.
In particular, it may be difficult to identify excessive trading in certain
omnibus accounts and other accounts traded through intermediaries. By their
nature, omnibus accounts, in which purchases and redemptions of JIF High-Yield
Fund's shares by multiple investors are aggregated by the intermediary and
presented to the Fund on a net basis, may effectively conceal the identity of
individual investors and their transactions from the Fund and its agents. This
makes the elimination of excessive trading in the accounts impractical without
the assistance of the intermediary.

JIF High-Yield Fund attempts to deter excessive trading through at least the
following methods:

     -    exchange limitations as described under "Exchanges;"

     -    redemption fees (where applicable on certain classes of certain
          funds); and

     -    fair valuation of securities as described under "Pricing of Fund
          Shares."

JIF High-Yield Fund monitors Fund share transactions, subject to the limitations
described below. Generally, a purchase of JIF High-Yield Fund's shares followed
by the redemption of JIF High-Yield Fund's shares within a 90-day period may
result in enforcement of JIF High-Yield Fund's excessive trading policies and
procedures with respect to future purchase orders, provided that the Fund
reserves the right to reject any purchase request as explained above.

If JIF High-Yield Fund detects excessive trading, the Fund may suspend or
permanently terminate the exchange privilege (if permitted by your financial
intermediary) of the account and may bar future purchases into the Fund and any
of the other Janus funds by such investor. JIF High-Yield Fund's excessive
trading policies generally do not apply to a (i) money market fund, although
money market funds at all times reserve the right to reject any purchase request
(including exchange purchases) for any reason without prior notice; and (ii)
transactions in the Janus funds by a Janus "fund of funds," which is a fund that
primarily invests in other Janus mutual funds.

JIF High-Yield Fund's Board of Trustees may approve from time to time a
redemption fee to be imposed by any Janus fund, subject to 60 days' notice to
shareholders of that fund.

Investors who place transactions through the same financial intermediary on an
omnibus basis may be deemed part of a group for the purpose of JIF High-Yield
Fund's excessive trading policies and procedures and may be rejected in whole or
in part by the Fund. JIF High-Yield Fund, however, cannot always identify or
reasonably detect excessive trading that may be facilitated by financial
intermediaries or made difficult to identify through the use of omnibus accounts
by those intermediaries that transmit purchase, exchange, and redemption orders
to JIF High-Yield Fund, and thus the Fund may have difficulty curtailing such
activity. Transactions accepted by a financial intermediary in violation of JIF
High-Yield Fund's excessive trading policies may be cancelled or revoked by the
Fund by the next business day following receipt by the Fund.

In an attempt to detect and deter excessive trading in omnibus accounts, JIF
High-Yield Fund or its agents may require intermediaries to impose restrictions
on the trading activity of accounts traded through those intermediaries. Such
restrictions may include, but are not limited to, requiring that trades be
placed by U.S. mail, prohibiting purchases for a designated period of time
(typically 30 to 90 days) by investors who have recently redeemed Fund shares,
requiring intermediaries to report information about customers who purchase and
redeem large amounts, and similar restrictions. JIF High-Yield Fund's ability to
impose such restrictions with respect to accounts traded through particular
intermediaries may vary depending on the systems capabilities, applicable
contractual and legal restrictions, and cooperation of those intermediaries.

Certain transactions in Fund shares, such as periodic rebalancing (no more
frequently than quarterly) or those which are made pursuant to systematic
purchase, exchange, or redemption programs generally do not raise excessive
trading concerns and normally do not require application of JIF High-Yield
Fund's methods to detect and deter excessive trading.


                                      C-11



JIF High-Yield Fund also reserves the right to reject any purchase request
(including exchange purchases) by any investor or group of investors for any
reason without prior notice, including, in particular, if the trading activity
in the account(s) is deemed to be disruptive to the Fund. For example, JIF
High-Yield Fund may refuse a purchase order if the Fund's portfolio managers
believe they would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with
the Fund's investment policies or the Fund would otherwise be adversely affected
due to the size of the transaction, frequency of trading, or other factors.

JIF High-Yield Fund's policies and procedures regarding excessive trading may be
modified at any time by the Fund's Board of Trustees.

EXCESSIVE TRADING RISKS

Excessive trading may present risks to JIF High-Yield Fund's long-term
shareholders. Excessive trading into and out of JIF High-Yield Fund may disrupt
portfolio investment strategies, may create taxable gains to remaining Fund
shareholders, and may increase Fund expenses, all of which may negatively impact
investment returns for all remaining shareholders, including long-term
shareholders.

Funds that invest in foreign securities may be at a greater risk for excessive
trading. Investors may attempt to take advantage of anticipated price movements
in securities held by a fund based on events occurring after the close of a
foreign market that may not be reflected in JIF High-Yield Fund's NAV (referred
to as "price arbitrage"). Such arbitrage opportunities may also arise in funds
which do not invest in foreign securities, for example, when trading in a
security held by a fund is halted and does not resume prior to the time JIF
High-Yield Fund calculates its NAV (referred to as "stale pricing"). Funds that
hold thinly-traded securities, such as certain small-capitalization securities,
may be subject to attempted use of arbitrage techniques. To the extent that JIF
High-Yield Fund's valuation of a security differs from the security's market
value, short-term arbitrage traders may dilute the NAV of JIF High-Yield Fund,
which negatively impacts long-term shareholders. Although JIF High-Yield Fund
has adopted fair valuation policies and procedures intended to reduce the Fund's
exposure to price arbitrage, stale pricing, and other potential pricing
inefficiencies, under such circumstances there is potential for short-term
arbitrage trades to dilute the value of Fund shares.

Although JIF High-Yield Fund takes steps to detect and deter excessive trading
pursuant to the policies and procedures described in this Appendix C and
approved by the Board of Trustees, there is no assurance that these policies and
procedures will be effective in limiting excessive trading in all circumstances.
For example, JIF High-Yield Fund may be unable to completely eliminate the
possibility of excessive trading in certain omnibus accounts and other accounts
traded through intermediaries. Omnibus accounts may effectively conceal the
identity of individual investors and their transactions from JIF High-Yield Fund
and its agents. This makes JIF High-Yield Fund's identification of excessive
trading transactions in the Fund through an omnibus account difficult and makes
the elimination of excessive trading in the account impractical without the
assistance of the intermediary. Although JIF High-Yield Fund encourages
intermediaries to take necessary actions to detect and deter excessive trading,
some intermediaries may be unable or unwilling to do so, and accordingly, the
Fund cannot eliminate completely the possibility of excessive trading.

Shareholders that invest through an omnibus account should be aware that they
may be subject to the policies and procedures of their financial intermediary
with respect to excessive trading in JIF High-Yield Fund.

AVAILABILITY OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION

The Mutual Fund Holdings Disclosure Policies and Procedures adopted by Janus
Capital and all mutual funds managed within the Janus fund complex are designed
to be in the best interests of the funds and to protect the confidentiality of
the funds' portfolio holdings. The following describes policies and procedures
with respect to disclosure of portfolio holdings of JIF High-Yield Fund.

     -    FULL HOLDINGS. JIF High-Yield Fund is required to disclose its
          complete holdings in the quarterly holdings report on Form N-Q within
          60 days of the end of each fiscal quarter, and in the annual report
          and semiannual report to fund shareholders. These reports (i) are
          available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov; (ii) may be
          reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington,
          D.C. (information on the Public Reference Room may be obtained by
          calling 1-800-SEC-0330); and (iii) are available without charge, upon
          request, by calling a Janus representative at 1-877-335-2687 (toll
          free). Holdings are generally posted under the Characteristics tab at
          www.janus.com/info approximately two


                                      C-12



          business days after the end of the following period: portfolio
          holdings (excluding cash investments, derivatives, short positions,
          and other investment positions), consisting of at least the names of
          the holdings, are generally available on a calendar quarter-end basis
          with a 30-day lag.

     -    TOP HOLDINGS. JIF High-Yield Fund's top portfolio holdings, in order
          of position size and as a percentage of the Fund's total portfolio,
          are available monthly with a 15-day lag and on a calendar quarter-end
          basis with a 15-day lag. Most funds disclose their top ten portfolio
          holdings. However, certain funds disclose only their top five
          portfolio holdings.

     -    OTHER INFORMATION. JIF High-Yield Fund may occasionally provide
          security breakdowns (e.g., industry, sector, regional, market
          capitalization, and asset allocation), top performance
          contributors/detractors, and specific portfolio level performance
          attribution information and statistics monthly with a 30-day lag and
          on a calendar quarter-end basis with a 15-day lag.

Full portfolio holdings will remain available on the Janus websites at least
until a Form N-CSR or Form N-Q is filed with the SEC for the period that
includes the date as of which the website information is current. JIF High-Yield
Fund discloses its short positions, if applicable, only to the extent required
in regulatory reports. Janus Capital may exclude from publication all or any
portion of portfolio holdings or change the time periods of disclosure as deemed
necessary to protect the interests of JIF High-Yield Fund, including under
extraordinary circumstances exceptions to the Mutual Fund Holdings Disclosure
Policies and Procedures made by Janus Capital's Chief Investment Officer(s) or
their delegates. Such exceptions may be made without prior notice to
shareholders. A summary of JIF High-Yield Fund's portfolio holdings disclosure
policies and procedures, which includes a discussion of any exceptions, is
contained in the Fund's SAI.

DISTRIBUTION OF JIF HIGH-YIELD FUND

JIF High-Yield Fund is distributed by Janus Distributors LLC, which is a member
of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). To obtain
information about FINRA member firms and their associated persons, you may
contact FINRA at www.finra.org, or at 1-800-289-9999.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

DISTRIBUTIONS

To avoid taxation of JIF High-Yield Fund, the Internal Revenue Code requires the
Fund to distribute all or substantially all of its net investment income and any
net capital gains realized on its investments at least annually. JIF High-Yield
Fund's income from certain dividends, interest, and any net realized short-term
capital gains are paid to shareholders as ordinary income dividends. Certain
dividend income may be reported to shareholders as "qualified dividend income,"
which is generally subject to reduced rates of taxation. Net realized long-term
capital gains are paid to shareholders as capital gains distributions,
regardless of how long Shares of the Fund have been held. Distributions are made
at the class level, so they may vary from class to class within a single fund.

DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULE

Income dividends for JIF High-Yield Fund are normally declared daily (Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays included) and distributed as of the last business day of
each month. If a month begins on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday, dividends for
those days are declared and distributed at the end of the preceding month.
Distributions of capital gains are normally declared and distributed in
December. If necessary, dividends and net capital gains may be distributed at
other times as well. For investors investing through intermediaries, the date
you receive your distribution may vary depending on how your intermediary
processes trades. Please consult your intermediary for details.

HOW DISTRIBUTIONS AFFECT JIF HIGH-YIELD FUND'S NAV

Distributions are paid to shareholders as of the record date of a distribution
of JIF High-Yield Fund, regardless of how long the shares have been held.
Undistributed dividends and net capital gains are included in JIF High-Yield
Fund's daily NAV. The share price of JIF High-Yield Fund drops by the amount of
the distribution, net of any subsequent market fluctuations. For example, assume
that on December 31, JIF High-Yield Fund declared a dividend in the amount of
$0.25 per share. If JIF High-Yield Fund's share price was $10.00 on December 30,
JIF High-Yield Fund's share price


                                      C-13



on December 31 would be $9.75, barring market fluctuations. You should be aware
that distributions from a taxable mutual fund do not increase the value of your
investment and may create income tax obligations.

"BUYING A DIVIDEND"

If you purchase shares of JIF High-Yield Fund just before a distribution, you
will pay the full price for the shares and receive a portion of the purchase
price back as a taxable distribution. This is referred to as "buying a
dividend." In the above example, if you bought shares on December 30, you would
have paid $10.00 per share. On December 31, JIF High-Yield Fund would pay you
$0.25 per share as a dividend and your shares would now be worth $9.75 per
share. Unless your account is set up as a tax-deferred account, dividends paid
to you would be included in your gross income for tax purposes, even though you
may not have participated in the increase in NAV of JIF High-Yield Fund, whether
or not you reinvested the dividends. Before buying shares of JIF High-Yield Fund
close to year-end, you should consult with your financial intermediary or tax
adviser as to potential tax consequences of any distributions that may be paid
shortly after purchase.

For your convenience, JIF High-Yield Fund's distributions of net investment
income and net capital gains are automatically reinvested in JIF High-Yield
Fund. To receive distributions in cash, contact your financial intermediary or a
Janus representative at 1-800-525-0020. Whether reinvested or paid in cash, the
distributions may be subject to taxes, unless your shares are held in a
qualified tax-deferred plan or account.

TAXES

As with any investment, you should consider the tax consequences of investing in
JIF High-Yield Fund. Any time you sell or exchange shares of a fund in a taxable
account, it is considered a taxable event. For federal income tax purposes, an
exchange is treated the same as a sale. Depending on the purchase price and the
sale price, you may have a gain or loss on the transaction; whether the gain or
loss is long-term or short-term depends on how long you owned the shares. Any
tax liabilities generated by your transactions are your responsibility.

The following discussion does not apply to qualified tax-deferred accounts or
other non-taxable entities, nor is it a complete analysis of the federal income
tax implications of investing in JIF High-Yield Fund. You should consult your
tax adviser if you have any questions. Additionally, state or local taxes may
apply to your investment, depending upon the laws of your state of residence.

TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions by JIF High-Yield Fund are subject to federal income tax,
regardless of whether the distribution is made in cash or reinvested in
additional shares of JIF High-Yield Fund. When gains from the sale of a security
held by JIF High-Yield Fund are paid to shareholders, the rate at which the gain
will be taxed to shareholders depends on the length of time JIF High-Yield Fund
held the security. In certain states, a portion of the distributions (depending
on the sources of JIF High-Yield Fund's income) may be exempt from state and
local taxes. JIF High-Yield Fund's net investment income and capital gains are
distributed to (and may be taxable to) those persons who are shareholders of JIF
High-Yield Fund at the record date of such payments. Although JIF High-Yield
Fund's total net income and net realized gain are the results of its operations,
the per share amount distributed or taxable to shareholders is affected by the
number of Fund shares outstanding at the record date. Generally, account tax
information will be made available to shareholders on or before January 31st of
each year. Information regarding distributions may also be reported to the
Internal Revenue Service.

Distributions made by JIF High-Yield Fund with respect to Shares purchased
through a qualified retirement plan will generally be exempt from current
taxation if left to accumulate within the qualified plan.

Generally, withdrawals from qualified plans may be subject to ordinary income
tax and, if made before age 59 1/2, a 10% penalty tax may be imposed. The tax
status of your investment depends on the features of your qualified plan. For
further information, please contact your plan sponsor.

JIF High-Yield Fund may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax on all
distributions and redemptions payable to shareholders who fail to provide their
correct taxpayer identification number, fail to make certain required
certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that
they are subject to backup withholding. The current backup withholding rate is
applied.


                                      C-14



TAXATION OF JIF HIGH-YIELD FUND

Dividends, interest, and some capital gains received by JIF High-Yield Fund on
foreign securities may be subject to foreign tax withholding or other foreign
taxes. If JIF High-Yield Fund is eligible, it may from year to year make the
election permitted under Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to pass
through such taxes to shareholders as a foreign tax credit. If such an election
is not made, any foreign taxes paid or accrued will represent an expense to JIF
High-Yield Fund. JIF High-Yield Fund's transactions may involve short sales,
futures, options, swap agreements, hedged investments, and other similar
transactions, and may be subject to special provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code that, among other things, can potentially affect the character, amount,
timing of distributions to shareholders, and utilization of capital loss
carryforwards. JIF High-Yield Fund will monitor its transactions and may make
certain tax elections and use certain investment strategies where applicable in
order to mitigate the effect of these tax provisions, if possible.

JIF High-Yield Fund does not expect to pay any federal income or excise taxes
because it intends to meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. It
is important that JIF High-Yield Fund meet these requirements so that any
earnings on your investment will not be subject to federal income taxes twice.
If JIF High-Yield Fund invests in partnerships, it may be subject to state tax
liabilities.


                                      C-15



                                                                      APPENDIX D

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

In the fall of 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Office
of the New York State Attorney General ("NYAG"), the Colorado Attorney General
("COAG"), and the Colorado Division of Securities ("CDS") announced that they
were investigating alleged frequent trading practices in the mutual fund
industry. On August 18, 2004, Janus Capital announced that it had reached final
settlements with the SEC, the NYAG, the COAG, and the CDS related to such
regulators' investigations into Janus Capital's frequent trading arrangements.

A number of civil lawsuits were brought against Janus Capital and certain of its
affiliates, the Janus funds, and related entities and individuals based on
allegations similar to those announced by the above regulators and were filed in
several state and federal jurisdictions. Such lawsuits alleged a variety of
theories for recovery including, but not limited to, the federal securities
laws, other federal statutes (including ERISA), and various common law
doctrines. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred these
actions to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (the "Court")
for coordinated proceedings. On September 29, 2004, five consolidated amended
complaints were filed with the Court that generally include: (i) claims by a
putative class of investors in certain Janus funds asserting claims on behalf of
the investor class (Marini, et al. v. Janus Investment Fund, et al., U.S.
District Court, District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00497); (ii) derivative
claims by investors in certain Janus funds ostensibly on behalf of such funds
(Steinberg et al. v. Janus Capital Management, LLC et al., U.S. District Court,
District of Maryland, Case No. 04-CV-00518); (iii) claims on behalf of
participants in the Janus 401(k) plan (Wangberger v. Janus Capital Group Inc.,
401(k) Advisory Committee, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland,
Case No. JFM-05-2711); (iv) claims brought on behalf of shareholders of Janus
Capital Group Inc. ("JCGI") on a derivative basis against the Board of Directors
of JCGI (Chasen v. Whiston, et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland,
Case No. 04-MD-00855); and (v) claims by a putative class of shareholders of
JCGI asserting claims on behalf of the shareholders (Wiggins, et al. v. Janus
Capital Group, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court, District of Maryland, Case No.
04-CV-00818). Each of the five complaints initially named JCGI and/or Janus
Capital as a defendant. In addition, the following were also named as defendants
in one or more of the actions: Janus Investment Fund ("JIF"), Janus Aspen Series
("JAS"), Janus Adviser Series ("JAD"), Janus Distributors LLC, INTECH Investment
Management LLC ("INTECH") (formerly named Enhanced Investment Technologies,
LLC), Bay Isle Financial LLC ("Bay Isle"), Perkins Investment Management LLC
("Perkins") (formerly named Perkins, Wolf, McDonnell and Company, LLC), the
Advisory Committee of the Janus 401(k) plan, and the current or former directors
of JCGI.

On August 25, 2005, the Court entered orders dismissing most of the claims
asserted against Janus Capital and its affiliates by fund investors in the
Marini and Steinberg cases (actions (i) and (ii) above) except certain claims
under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and under Section
36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). On
December 30, 2008, the court granted partial summary judgment in Janus Capital's
favor with respect to Plaintiffs' damage demand as it relates to what was
categorized as "approved" market timing based on the court's finding that there
was no evidence that investors suffered damages that exceed the $50 million they
are entitled to receive under the regulatory settlement. The court did not grant
summary judgment on the remaining causes of action and requested the parties to
submit additional briefing with respect to what was categorized as "unapproved"
market timing. On August 15, 2006, the Wangberger complaint in the 401(k) plan
class action (action (iii) above) was dismissed by the Court with prejudice. The
plaintiff appealed that dismissal decision to the United States Court of Appeals
for the Fourth Circuit, which remanded the case back to the Court for further
proceedings. The Court also dismissed the Chasen lawsuit (action (iv) above)
against JCGI's Board of Directors without leave to amend. Finally, a Motion to
Dismiss the Wiggins suit (action (v) above) was granted and the matter was
dismissed in May 2007. Plaintiffs appealed that dismissal to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit where the appeal is pending.

In addition to the lawsuits described above, the Auditor of the State of West
Virginia ("Auditor"), in his capacity as securities commissioner, has initiated
administrative proceedings against many of the defendants in the market timing
cases (including JCGI and Janus Capital) and, as a part of its relief, is
seeking disgorgement and other monetary relief based on similar market timing
allegations (In the Matter of Janus Capital Group Inc. et al., Before the
Securities Commissioner, State of West Virginia, Summary Order No. 05-1320). In
September 2006, JCGI and Janus Capital filed their answer to the Auditor's
summary order instituting proceedings as well as a Motion to Discharge Order to
Show Cause. This action is pending.


                                      D-1



During 2007, two lawsuits were filed against Janus Management Holdings
Corporation ("Janus Holdings"), an affiliate of JCGI, by former Janus portfolio
managers, alleging that Janus Holdings unilaterally implemented certain changes
to compensation in violation of prior agreements (Edward Keely v. Janus
Holdings, Denver District Court, Case No. 2007CV7366; Tom Malley v. Janus
Holdings, Denver District Court, Case No. 2007CV10719). These complaints allege
some or all of the following claims: (1) breach of contract; (2) willful and
wanton breach of contract; (3) breach of good faith and fair dealing; and (4)
estoppel. Janus Holdings filed Answers to these complaints denying any liability
for these claims and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations.

Additional lawsuits may be filed against certain of the Janus funds, Janus
Capital, and related parties in the future. Janus Capital does not currently
believe that these pending actions will materially affect its ability to
continue providing services it has agreed to provide to the Janus funds.

                          ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT
  CLASS A, CLASS C, CLASS I, CLASS R AND CLASS S SHARES OF JIF HIGH-YIELD FUND

TRANSFER AGENCY AND OTHER SERVICES

Janus Services LLC ("Janus Services"), P.O. Box 173375, Denver, Colorado
80217-3375, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus Capital, is JIF High-Yield Fund's
transfer agent. In addition, Janus Services provides certain other
administrative, recordkeeping, and shareholder relations services for JIF
High-Yield Fund. Janus Services receives an administrative services fee at an
annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares and
Class S shares of JIF High-Yield Fund for providing or procuring recordkeeping,
subaccounting, and other administrative services to investors in Class R shares
and Class S shares of JIF High-Yield Fund. Janus Services expects to use a
significant portion of this fee to compensate retirement plan service providers,
broker-dealers, bank trust departments, financial advisors, and other financial
intermediaries for providing these services. Services provided by these
financial intermediaries may include but are not limited to recordkeeping,
processing and aggregating purchase and redemption transactions, providing
periodic statements, forwarding prospectuses, shareholder reports, and other
materials to existing customers, and other administrative services.

Janus Services is not compensated for its services related to Class A shares,
Class C shares, and Class I shares, except for out-of-pocket expenses. Included
in out-of-pocket expenses are the networking and/or omnibus account fees which
certain intermediaries charge with respect to transactions in JIF High-Yield
Fund that are processed through the National Securities Clearing Corporation
("NSCC") or similar systems.

PURCHASES OF CLASS A SHARES

The price you pay for Class A shares is the public offering price, which is the
NAV next determined after JIF High-Yield Fund or its agent receives in good
order your order plus an initial sales charge, if applicable, based on the
amount invested as set forth in the table. JIF High-Yield Fund receives the NAV.
The sales charge is allocated between your financial intermediary and Janus
Distributors, the Trust's distributor, as shown in the table, except where Janus
Distributors, in its discretion, allocates up to the entire amount to your
financial intermediary. Sales charges, as expressed as a percentage of offering
price, a percentage of your net investment, and as a percentage of the sales
charge reallowed to financial intermediaries, are shown in the table. The dollar
amount of your initial sales charge is calculated as the difference between the
public offering price and the NAV of those shares. Since the offering price is
calculated to two decimal places using standard rounding criteria, the number of
shares purchased and the dollar amount of your sales charge as a percentage of
the offering price and of your net investment may be higher or lower than the
amounts set forth in the table depending on whether there was a downward or
upward rounding. Although you pay no initial sales charge on purchases of
$1,000,000 or more, Janus Distributors may pay, from its own resources, a
commission to your financial intermediary on such investments.

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLANS

CLASS A SHARES, CLASS R SHARES, AND CLASS S SHARES

As described in the Prospectus/Information Statement, Class A shares, Class R
shares, and Class S shares will each adopt distribution and shareholder
servicing plans (the "Class A Plan," "Class R Plan," and "Class S Plan,"
respectively) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans are
compensation type plans and permit the payment at an annual rate of up to 0.25%
of the average daily net assets of Class A shares and Class S shares and at an
annual rate of up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares of
a Fund for activities that are primarily intended to result in sales of Class A
shares, Class R shares, or Class S shares of such Fund, including but not
limited to preparing, printing, and distributing prospectuses, SAIs, shareholder
reports, and educational materials to prospective and existing investors;
responding to inquiries by investors; receiving and answering correspondence and
similar activities. Payments under the Plans are not tied exclusively to actual
distribution and service expenses, and the payments may exceed distribution and
service expenses actually incurred. Payments are made to Janus Distributors LLC,
JIF High-Yield Fund's distributor ("Janus Distributors"), who may make ongoing
payments to financial intermediaries based on the value of Fund shares held by
such intermediaries' customers.

CLASS C SHARES

As described in the Prospectus/Information Statement, Class C shares will adopt
a distribution and shareholder servicing plan (the "Class C Plan") in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class C Plan is a compensation type plan
and permits the payment at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of the average daily
net assets of Class C shares of JIF High-Yield Fund for activities which are
primarily intended to result in sales of Class C shares of JIF High-Yield Fund.
In addition, the Plan permits the payment of up to 0.25% of the average daily
net assets of Class C shares of JIF High-Yield Fund for shareholder servicing
activities such as providing facilities to answer questions from existing
investors about JIF High-Yield Fund; receiving and answering correspondence;
assisting investors in changing dividend and other account options and any other
activities for which "service fees" may be paid under Rule 2830 of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Conduct Rules. Payments under the Class C
Plan are not tied exclusively to actual distribution and service expenses, and
the payments may exceed distribution and service expenses actually incurred.

The Plans and any Rule 12b-1 related agreement to be entered into by JIF
High-Yield Fund or Janus Distributors in connection with the Plans will continue
in effect for a period of more than one year only so long as continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by a vote of a majority of the Trustees,
and of a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons (as defined in
the 1940 Act) of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest
in the operation of the Plans or any related agreements ("12b-1 Trustees"). All
material amendments to any Plan must be approved by a majority vote of the
Trustees, including a majority of the 12b-1 Trustees, at a meeting called for
that purpose. In addition, any Plan may be terminated as to JIF High-Yield Fund
at any time, without penalty, by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of
that Class of JIF High-Yield Fund or by vote of a majority of the 12b-1
Trustees.

Janus Distributors is entitled to retain all fees paid under the Class C Plan
for the first 12 months on any investment in Class C shares to recoup its
expenses with respect to the payment of commissions on sales of Class C shares.
Financial intermediaries will become eligible for compensation under the Class C
Plan beginning in the 13th month following the purchase of Class C shares,
although Janus Distributors may, pursuant to a written agreement between Janus
Distributors and a particular financial intermediary, pay such financial
intermediary 12b-1 fees prior to the 13th month following the purchase of Class
C shares.

                           PART C - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 15. Indemnification

     Article VI of Janus Investment Fund's Amended and Restated Agreement and
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification of certain persons acting on
behalf of the Funds. In general, Trustees, officers and Advisory Board members
will be indemnified against liability and against all expenses of litigation
incurred by them in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding (or
settlement of the same) in which they become involved by virtue of their
connection with the Funds, unless their conduct is determined to constitute
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of their
duties. A determination that a person covered by the indemnification provisions
is entitled to indemnification may be made by the court or other body before
which the proceeding is brought, or by either a vote of a majority of a quorum
of Trustees who are neither "interested persons" of the Trust nor parties to the
proceeding or by an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Funds
also may advance money for these expenses, provided that the Trustee or officer
undertakes to repay the Funds if his or her conduct is later determined to
preclude indemnification, and that either he or she provide security for the
undertaking, the Trust be insured against losses resulting from lawful advances
or a majority of a quorum of disinterested Trustees, or independent counsel in a
written opinion, determines that he or she ultimately will be found to be
entitled to indemnification. The Trust also maintains a liability insurance
policy covering its Trustees, officers and any Advisory Board members.

                  FORM OF AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Agreement") is made as of this
[__] day of [__], 200_, by and among Janus Adviser Series, a Delaware statutory
trust (the "JAD Trust"), on behalf of Janus Adviser [___]Fund, a series of the

Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of Janus [___] Fund a series of the JIF
Trust (the "Successor Fund"), and Janus Capital Management LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company ("JCM").

All references in this Agreement to action taken by the Predecessor Fund or the
Successor Fund shall be deemed to refer to action taken by the JIF Trust or JAD
Trust on behalf of the respective portfolio series.

This Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization and
liquidation within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the United States Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The reorganization (the
"Reorganization") will consist of the transfer by the Predecessor Fund of all or
substantially all of its assets to the Successor Fund, in exchange solely for
[Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] voting shares of beneficial
interest in the Successor Fund (the "Successor Fund Shares") having an aggregate
net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the same class of
shares of the Predecessor Fund, the assumption by the Successor Fund of all the
liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, and the distribution of the [Class A, Class
C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares to the shareholders of
the Predecessor Fund in complete liquidation of the Predecessor Fund as provided
herein, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this
Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD Trust and the JIF Trust has
determined that it is in the best interest of the Predecessor Fund and the
Successor Fund, respectively, that the assets of the Predecessor Fund be
acquired by the Successor Fund pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with
the applicable statutes of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of
Delaware, and that the interests of existing shareholders will not be diluted as
a result of this transaction;

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD Trust
and the JIF Trust are entering into separate Plans of Reorganization which
contemplate the reorganization of certain series of the JAD Trust into existing
series of the JIF Trust (each a "Preexisting Fund Reorganization"); and

WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, the Board of Trustees of each of the JAD Trust
and the JIF Trust are entering into separate Plans of Reorganization which
contemplate the reorganization of certain series of the JAD Trust into newly
created series of the JIF Trust (each a "Shell Reorganization").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as
follows:

1. PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the JAD Trust shall
(i) transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Predecessor Fund, as
set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Successor Fund, (ii) the JIF Trust shall
cause the Successor Fund to deliver to the JAD Trust full and fractional [Class
A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares having an
aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the aggregate net assets of the
same class of shares of the Predecessor Fund as of the close of regular session
trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date, as set forth in
paragraph 2.1 (the "Closing Date") and (iii) the JIF Trust shall cause the
Successor Fund to assume all liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, as set forth
in paragraph 1.2. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for
in paragraph 2.1 (the "Closing").

1.2 The assets of the Predecessor Fund to be acquired by the Successor Fund
shall consist of all property, including, without limitation, all cash,
securities, commodities and futures interests, and dividends or interest
receivable which are owned by the Predecessor Fund and any deferred or prepaid
expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Predecessor Fund on the Closing
Date. The Successor Fund will assume all of the liabilities, expenses, costs,
charges and reserves of the Predecessor Fund of any kind, whether



absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise in existence on the Closing Date.

1.3 The Predecessor Fund will distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record
of the applicable classes, determined as of immediately after the close of
business on the Closing Date (the "Current Shareholders"), the [Class A, Class
C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares received by the JAD Trust
pursuant to paragraph 1.1. Such distribution and liquidation will be
accomplished by the transfer of the [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and
Class S] Successor Fund Shares then credited to the accounts of the Predecessor
Fund on the books of the Successor Fund to open accounts on the share records of
the Successor Fund in the names of the Current Shareholders and representing the
respective pro rata number of the [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class
S] Successor Fund Shares due to such shareholders. All issued and outstanding
shares of the Predecessor Fund will simultaneously be canceled on the books of
the JAD Trust. The Successor Fund shall not issue certificates representing the
[Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares in
connection with such exchange. Ownership of [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R
and Class S] Successor Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the JIF Trust's
transfer agent. As soon as practicable after the Closing, the JAD Trust shall
take all steps necessary to effect a complete liquidation of the Predecessor
Fund.

2. CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

2.1 The Closing Date shall be July 6, 2009, or such other date as the parties
may agree to in writing. All acts taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to
take place simultaneously as of immediately after the close of business on the
Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The close of business on
the Closing Date shall be as of 4:00 p.m. New York Time. The Closing shall be
held at the offices of JCM, 151 Detroit Street, Denver, Colorado 80206-4805, or
at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree.

2.2 The JAD Trust shall cause Janus Services LLC (the "Transfer Agent"),
transfer agent of the Predecessor Fund, to deliver at the Closing a certificate
of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the names and
addresses of the Current Shareholders and the number, class, and percentage
ownership of outstanding shares of the Predecessor Fund owned by each such
shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. The Successor Fund shall issue and
deliver a confirmation evidencing the [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and
Class S] Successor Fund Shares to be credited on the Closing Date to the
Secretary of the JAD Trust or provide evidence satisfactory to the JAD Trust
that such [Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class S] Successor Fund Shares
have been credited to the accounts of the Predecessor Fund on the books of the
Successor Fund. At the Closing, each party shall deliver to the other such bills
of sales, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other
documents as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

                          INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

                            [_________________ FUND]

     THIS INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made this ____ day
of __________, 2009, between JANUS INVESTMENT FUND, a Massachusetts business
trust (the "Trust"), and JANUS CAPITAL MANAGEMENT LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("JCM").

                                   WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, the Trust is registered as an open-end management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"),
and has registered its shares for public offering under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"); and

     WHEREAS, the Trust is authorized to create separate funds, each with its
own separate investment portfolio of which the beneficial interests are
represented by a separate series of shares; one of such funds created by the
Trust being designated as the [______________ Fund] (the "Fund"); and

     WHEREAS, the Trust and JCM deem it mutually advantageous that JCM should be
appointed as investment adviser to the Fund.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

     1. Appointment. The Trust hereby appoints JCM as investment adviser and
manager with respect to the Fund for the period and on the terms set forth in
this Agreement. JCM hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to render the
services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided.

     2. Investment Advisory Services. JCM shall determine the securities or
other assets to be purchased, sold or held and shall place orders for the
purchase or sale of such securities or other assets with brokers, dealers or
others. JCM shall furnish continuous advice and recommendations to the Fund as
to the acquisition, holding, or disposition of any or all of the securities or
other assets which the Fund may own or contemplate acquiring from time to time.
JCM shall give due consideration to the investment policies and restrictions and
the other statements concerning the Fund in the Declaration of Trust, bylaws,
and registration statements under the 1940 Act and the 1933 Act, and to the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended from time to time,
applicable to the Fund as a regulated investment company. In addition, JCM shall
cause its officers to attend meetings and furnish oral or written reports, as
the Trust may reasonably require, in order to keep the Trustees and appropriate
officers of the Trust fully informed as to the condition of the investment
portfolio of the Fund, the investment recommendations of JCM, and the investment
considerations which have given rise to those


                                     PAGE 1



recommendations. [Subject to the approval of the Trustees of the Trust and, if
required, the shareholders of the Fund, JCM is authorized to engage one or more
subadvisers in connection with JCM's duties and responsibilities under this
Agreement, which subadvisers may be affiliates of JCM.]

     3. Other Services. JCM is hereby authorized (to the extent the Trust has
not otherwise contracted) but not obligated (to the extent it so notifies the
Trustees at least 60 days in advance), to perform (or arrange for the
performance by affiliates of or duly appointed subadvisers or affiliates of) the
management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund.
JCM is specifically authorized, on behalf of the Trust, to conduct relations
with custodians, depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants,
attorneys, underwriters, brokers and dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurance
company separate accounts, insurers, banks and such other persons in any such
other capacity deemed by JCM to be necessary or desirable. JCM shall generally
monitor and report to Fund officers the Fund's compliance with investment
policies and restrictions as set forth in the currently effective prospectus and
statement of additional information relating to the shares of the Fund under the
1933 Act. JCM shall make reports to the Trustees of its performance of services
hereunder upon request therefor and furnish advice and recommendations with
respect to such other aspects of the business and affairs of the Fund as it
shall determine to be desirable. JCM is also authorized, subject to review by
the Trustees, to furnish such other services as JCM shall from time to time
determine to be necessary or useful to perform the services contemplated by this
Agreement.

     4. Obligations of Trust. The Trust shall have the following obligations
under this Agreement:

          (a)  to keep JCM continuously and fully informed as to the composition
               of its investment portfolio and the nature of all of its assets
               and liabilities from time to time;

          (b)  to furnish JCM with a certified copy of any financial statement
               or report prepared for it by certified or independent public
               accountants and with copies of any financial statements or
               reports made to its shareholders or to any governmental body or
               securities exchange;

          (c)  to furnish JCM with any further materials or information which
               JCM may reasonably request to enable it to perform its function
               under this Agreement; and

          (d)  to compensate JCM for its services and reimburse JCM for its
               expenses incurred hereunder in accordance with the provisions
               hereof.

     5. Compensation. The Trust shall pay to JCM for its services pursuant to
this Agreement a monthly base fee of 1/12 of [____%] of the average daily
closing net asset value of the Fund, adjusted by a performance fee as set forth
in Schedule A. For any period less than a month during which this Agreement is
in effect, the base fee shall be prorated according to the proportion which such
period bears to a full month of 28, 29, 30 or 31 days, as the case may be.


                                     PAGE 2

               except as otherwise provided in Section 7;

          (b)  Rental of offices of the Trust; and

               granted in Section 2 hereof.]

     7. Expenses Borne by the Trust. The Trust assumes and shall pay all

specifically assumed or agreed to be paid by JCM pursuant to Sections 3 and 6

compliance systems, and all costs involved in preparing, printing and mailing
prospectuses and statements of additional information to Fund shareholders; and
all fees, dues and other expenses incurred by the Trust in connection with the

     8. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without
penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust, or by the shareholders of the Fund acting
by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities, provided in
either case that sixty (60) days advance written notice of termination be given
to JCM at its principal place of business. This Agreement may be terminated by
JCM at any time, without penalty, by giving sixty (60) days advance written
notice of termination to the Trust, addressed to its principal place of
business. The Trust agrees that,


                                     PAGE 3



consistent with the terms of the Trust Instrument, the Trust shall cease to use
the name "Janus" in connection with the Fund as soon as reasonably practicable
following any termination of this Agreement if JCM does not continue to provide
investment advice to the Fund after such termination.

     9. Assignment. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of
any assignment of this Agreement.

     10. Term. This Agreement shall continue in effect until February 1, [2011],
unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms, and shall continue in

Trustees of the Trust who are not parties hereto or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the
approval of the terms of such renewal, and (b) either the Trustees of the Trust
or the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Fund. The annual approvals provided for herein shall be effective to
continue this Agreement from year to year if given within a period beginning not
more than ninety (90) days prior to February 1 of each applicable year,
notwithstanding the fact that more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days may
have elapsed since the date on which such approval was last given.

     11. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the parties only if such
amendment is specifically approved (i) by a majority of the Trustees, including

     12. Other Series. The Trustees shall determine the basis for making an
appropriate allocation of the Trust's expenses (other than those directly
attributable to the Fund) between the Fund and the other series of the Trust.

     13. Limitation of Personal Liability. All the parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that all liabilities of the Trust arising, directly or indirectly,
under this Agreement, of any and every nature whatsoever, shall be satisfied
solely out of the assets of the Fund and that no Trustee, officer or holder of

the foregoing liabilities. The Trust Instrument describes in detail the
respective responsibilities and limitations on liability of the Trustees,
officers and holders of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust.

     14. Limitation of Liability of JCM. JCM shall not be liable for any error
of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or
for any act or omission taken with respect to the Trust, except for willful

by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder and
except to the extent otherwise provided by law. As used in this Section 14,

                                     PAGE 4



     15. Activities of JCM. The services of JCM to the Trust hereunder are not
to be deemed to be exclusive, and JCM and its affiliates are free to render
services to other parties. It is understood that trustees, officers and
shareholders of the Trust are or may become interested in JCM as directors,

laws of the State of Colorado (without giving effect to the conflicts of laws
principles thereof) and the 1940 Act. To the extent that the applicable laws of
the State of Colorado conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act,
the latter shall control.

     This Agreement shall supercede all prior investment advisory agreements
entered into between JCM and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused their duly authorized officers
to execute this Investment Advisory Agreement as of the amended date and year
first above written.

                                   SCHEDULE A
                             PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT

     Beginning with the Base Fee payable for [___________ and in month [__]
thereafter, the Base Fee shall be adjusted monthly based upon the investment
performance of the Fund's Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load) and or
the investment performance of the Fund's predecessor fund's Class A Shares
(waiving the upfront sales load), as described below, in relation to the
cumulative investment record of the Fund's benchmark, the [_____________] (the
"Index"), over the "Performance Period" (such adjustment being referred to
herein as the "Performance Adjustment"). [The "Performance Period" is defined as
the shorter of (a) the period from the date of this Agreement through the end of
the month for which the fee is being calculated, and (b) the 36 month period
preceding the end of the month for which the fee is being calculated.]

     The Base Fee of the Fund shall be adjusted based on the investment
performance of the Fund's Class A Shares (waiving the upfront sales load)
("Class A Shares") commencing on [________, 2009]. For any measurement period
prior to this date, the Base Fee for the Fund shall be adjusted based on the
investment performance of the Fund's predecessor fund's Class A Shares (waiving
the upfront sales load) ("Predecessor Class A Shares," and together with Class A
Shares, the "Shares"). Therefore, in calculating the Performance Adjustment for
any Performance Period that commences prior to [____________, 2009], the
investment performance of the Predecessor Class A Shares shall be used, and, for
any other Performance Period that ends after [____________, 2009], the
investment performance of the Class A Shares shall be used for that portion of
the period subsequent to that date.

     The Performance Adjustment shall be calculated by subtracting the
investment record of the Index from the investment performance of the Fund's
Shares. If there is less than a 0.50% difference (plus or minus) between the
investment performance of the Fund's Shares and the investment record of the
Index, the Fund pays JCM the Base Fee with no adjustment. If the difference
between the investment performance of the Fund's Shares and the investment
record of the Index is 0.50% or greater during any Performance Period, the Base
Fee will be subject to an upward or downward performance adjustment of 1/12 of
[____%] for every full 0.50% increment by which the Fund's Shares outperform or
underperform the Index. The maximum percentage used in calculating the
Performance Adjustment (positive or negative) in any month is 1/12 of 0.15%. The
Performance Adjustment is applied against the Fund's average daily net assets
during the Performance Period.

     For purposes of computing the Base Fee and the Performance Adjustment, net
assets are averaged over different periods (average daily net assets during the
relevant month for the Base Fee versus average daily net assets during the
Performance Period for the Performance Adjustment). The Base Fee is calculated
and accrued daily. The Performance Adjustment is calculated monthly in arrears
and is accrued evenly each day throughout the month. The investment advisory fee
is paid monthly in arrears.

     The average daily net asset value of the Fund, or any class thereof, shall
be determined in the manner set forth in the Trust's Amended and Restated
Agreement and Declaration of Trust,


                                     PAGE 6



Amended and Restated Bylaws and registration statement, each as may be amended
from time to time.

     The investment performance of the Fund's Shares will be the sum of:

     (1) the change in Shares' net asset value ("NAV") per share during the
Performance Period; plus

     (2) the value of the Shares' cash distributions per share accumulated to
the end of the Performance Period; plus

     (3) the value of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on
undistributed realized long-term capital gains accumulated to the end of the
Performance Period;

expressed as a percentage of the Shares' NAV per share at the beginning of the
Performance Period. For this purpose, the value of distributions per share of
realized capital gains, of dividends per share paid from investment income and
of capital gains taxes per share paid or payable on undistributed realized
long-term capital gains shall be treated as reinvested in the Shares at the NAV
in effect at the close of business on the record date for the payment of such
distributions and dividends and the date on which provision is made for such
taxes, after giving effect to such distributions, dividends and taxes.

     The investment record of the Index will be the sum of:

     (1) the change in the level of the Index during the Performance Period;
plus

     (2) the value, computed consistently with the Index, of cash distributions
made by companies whose securities comprise the Index accumulated to the end of
the Performance Period; expressed as a percentage of the Index level at the
beginning of the Performance Period. For this purpose, cash distributions on the
securities which comprise the Index shall be treated as reinvested in the Index
at least as frequently as the end of each calendar quarter following the payment
of the dividend.

     The Trustees have designated Class A Shares to be used for purposes of
determining the Performance Adjustment for any Performance Period commencing
after [___, 2009]. For any Performance Period prior to this date, the
performance of the Predecessor Class A Shares shall be used for purposes of
determining the Performance Adjustment. From time to time, the Trustees may, by
vote of the Trustees of the Trust voting in person, including a majority of the
Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as
defined in the 1940 Act) of any such parties, determine that a class of shares
of the Fund other than Class A Shares is the most appropriate for use in
calculating the Performance Adjustment. If a different class of shares
("Successor Class") is substituted in calculating the Performance Adjustment,
the use of that Successor Class of shares for purposes of calculating the
Performance Adjustment may apply to the entire Performance Period so long as
such Successor Class was outstanding at the beginning of such period. If the
Successor Class of shares was not outstanding for all or a portion of the
Performance Period, it may only be used in calculating that portion of the


                                     PAGE 7



Performance Adjustment attributable to the period during which such Successor
Class was outstanding and any prior portion of the Performance Period shall be
calculated using the class of shares previously designated.

0.75% of which is for distribution services and up to 0.25% of which is for
shareholder account services. Class C Shares are subject to a networking,
omnibus, or administrative services fee which is paid out of the assets
attributable to the Class C Shares of each Fund

          (c) Class I Shares. Class I Shares do not have a Distribution and
Shareholder Servicing Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1, but are subject to a
networking, omnibus, or administrative services fee which is paid out of the
assets attributable to the Class I Shares of each Fund.

          (d) Class J Shares. Class J Shares do not have a Distribution and
Shareholder Servicing Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1, but are subject to a transfer
agency fee paid out of the assets attributable to the Class J Shares of each
Fund.

          (e) Class L Shares. Class L Shares do not have a Distribution and
Shareholder Servicing Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1, but are subject to transfer

sub-transfer agency fee paid out of the assets attributable to the Class T
Shares of each Fund.

     4. Differences in Class Expenses. The differences in the Class Expenses
payable by each Class pursuant to this Plan are due to: (i) the differing levels
of services provided or procured by JIF to investors eligible to purchase shares
of each Class; and (ii) the differing levels of expenses expected to be incurred
with respect to each Class, due in part to the differing systems of distribution
of each Class.

     5. Exchange Privilege. The exchange privilege offered by each Fund provides
that shares of a Class may be exchanged only for shares of the same Class of
another Fund of the Trust or as may be provided in the Prospectus for such
Funds.

     6. Effective Date. This Plan was adopted as of October 2, 2008 and amended
March 12, 2009 pursuant to determinations made by the Trustees of JIF, including
a majority of the Independent Trustees, that the multiple class structure and
the allocation of expenses as set forth in the Plan are in the best interests of
each of the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class I Shares, Class J Shares,
Class L Shares, Class R Shares, Class S Shares, and Class T Shares individually
and each Fund and JIF as a whole. This Plan shall become effective upon such
date as the Trustees shall determine. This Plan will continue in effect until
terminated in accordance with Section 9.

Trustees of JIF shall be Independent Trustees, and such Trustees shall select
and nominate any other Independent Trustees. Any person who acts as legal
counsel for the Independent Trustees shall be an "independent legal counsel" as
defined in the Act and the rules thereunder.

     8. Amendment. Material amendments to the Plan may be made with respect to a
Class at any time with the approval of the Trustees of JIF, including a majority
of the Independent Trustees, upon finding that the Plan as proposed to be
amended, including the allocation of expenses, is in the best interests of each
Class individually and each Fund and JIF as a whole.

     9. Termination. This Plan may be terminated by majority vote of the
Trustees without penalty at any time.

                                                                 October 2, 2008
                                                                  March 12, 2009

Re:  JANUS INVESTMENT FUND (the "Registrant")
     1933 Act File No. 2-34393
     1940 Act File No. 811-1879

Dear Sir or Madam:

The Registrant is transmitting today for filing under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, a registration statement on Form N-14 (the "Registration
Statement") relating to the registration of shares of beneficial interest to be
issued in connection with the reorganization of Janus Adviser High-Yield Fund
(the "Acquired Fund"), a series of the Janus Adviser Series, into Janus
High-Yield Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), a series of the Registrant (the
"Reorganization). The Registration Statement is also being filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No filing fee is due in connection
with this filing.

As noted above, the shares covered by the Registration Statement are to be
issued in connection with the Reorganization. Shares of the Acquiring Fund will
be issued to shareholders of the Acquired Fund in exchange for the transfer of
the Acquired Fund's assets and liabilities to the Acquiring Fund. Pursuant to
Rule 17a-8(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as
permitted under the Acquired Fund's trust instrument, shareholders of the
Acquired Fund are not being requested to approve the Reorganization. As a
result, shareholders of the Acquired Funds will receive the
prospectus/information statement that is filed as a part of the Registration
Statement instead of a proxy statement.

The Reorganization is part of several mergers occurring between the Janus
Adviser Series trust and the Registrant (the "Mergers"). Several registration
statements on Form N-14 have been filed on March 17, 2009 in connection with the
Mergers. The prospectus/information statement included in this Registration
Statement has many similar sections of disclosure as the other registration
statements filed in connection with the Mergers. As such, the Registrant
requests selective review of the Registration Statement pursuant to Investment
Company Act Release No. IC-13768. For your convenience, the Registrant has
listed below the sections of the Registration Statement that are substantially
similar to the other filed registration statements:

     1.   SYNOPSIS- Questions and Answers (with the exception of questions
          relating to the impact on Fund expenses);

     2.   THE REORGANIZATION- The Plan, Reason for Reorganization, Federal
          Income Tax Consequences, and Other Comparative Information about the
          Funds-Charter Documents;

     3.   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION- Trustee and Officers, Independent Registered
          Public Accounting Firm, Legal Matters, and Information Available
          through the SEC; and

     4.   APPENDICES

Because the net asset value of the Acquired Fund does not exceed ten percent of
the Acquiring Fund's net asset value, pro forma financial statements are not
included in the Registration Statement.

The Registrant Statement has delayed effectiveness until such time that the
Staff declares the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Section 8(a) of
the Securities Act of 1933. However, the Registrant respectfully requests that
the Staff provide comments and declare this Registration Statement effective
within 30 days of this filing or no later than April 16, 2009.

If you have any questions regarding this filing, please call me at (303)
336-4562.

Sincerely,
